   Yes, it is always kept up to date.

   I think that link says they are using v6 to allow access to *their*    
   *site*, not that it's functioning in their firewall product.   
      
   I have done further research and confirmed that it is NOT currently    
   available in the firewall.  That does seem strange, but it's backed up    
   by the fact that I see no sign of any v6 options/choices in the    
   configuration of the firewall.  :-(   
      
   I'm gonna learn some more about all this, and am currently pretty loaded    
   up with real life/work stuff, so it may wait until after the holidays.     
   Thanks for your input/help!   
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
