status of IPv6 Support for INET/CIDR types
Hi,
We are implementing a database for maintaining our IP addresses. Looking
in the current documentation, it seems that INET/CIDR types only support
IPv4 addresses until now, although
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2001-09/msg00236.php
seems to suggest a patch for IPv6 has been ready for some time now.
What is the status of IPv6 types at this moment?

Some merging of code from the BIND code and our IPv4 changes need to be
made. No one has done it yet.
