It doesn't work. It uses UDP over IPv4 for the upcalls.

I suspect the main trick is how it can figure out that it needs to use IPv6
instead of
IPv4? (If there is no easy way, I suppose it could be a command option.)
rick
ps: The kernel RPC knows what it calls "udp6". I never really understood how to
tell when an IPv6 address is from the local machine? (I'll admit I never
use
IPv6, so I don't even know if NFS works on it. I just assume someone would
complain if it didn't work.)
