     I tried your 1:320/219 node as well and it still went out via IPv4.  Is it    
   really MBSE that "will use IPv6 first"? Or it perhaps related to OS settings?     
   The new system hosting 1:120/545 is a 64bit system on Debian 8.

     I can ping6 your system with no issue so I'll be testing that.
