This Blog and IPv6

Unfortunately FreeBSD jails don't yet support IPv6. Because I wanted my site to be reachable from IPv6, I previously had a redirect on the AAAA arved.priv.at host redirecting to the IPv4 address of the jail.
But now i have finally configured a better solution, using the lighthttpd proxy module.
Snippet from the lighthttpd config:
server.modules              = (
                              "mod_proxy",
                                "mod_accesslog" )
server.use-ipv6 ="enable"
server.bind = "2001:6f8:13fb::1"
proxy.server    = ( "" =>
                        ( "localhost" =>
                                (
                                        "host" => "213.9.70.76",
                                        "port" => 80
                                )
                        )
                   )
BTW, just in case you wondered, in the last year there have been nineteen unique IPv6 addresses from 5 networks (my netblock excluded) in the access.log. Most important one of the Planet FreeBSD aggregators is using IPv6.
