Hello All,

I am unable to get IPv6 tests to work.

I can ping a remote IPv6 node:

ping6 sdsc-pt1-v6.es.net
PING sdsc-pt1-v6.es.net(sdsc-pt1-v6.es.net) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from sdsc-pt1-v6.es.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=107 ms

name services are resolving properly

[root@ps-node-c pscheduler]# nslookup -type=aaaa sdsc-pt1-v6.es.net
Server:         192.168.202.5
Address:        192.168.202.5#53

Non-authoritative answer:
sdsc-pt1-v6.es.net      has AAAA address 2001:400:1101:1150::3

I have added an IPv6 host to a PS4 node and confirmed that it is set for IPv6

I see no tests with the hostname (sdsc-pt1-v6) in the pscheduler logs and no tests with --ip-version=6 in the logs either.

I do have a private v4 address, but have a public V6 address that is exposed for icmpv6.

Anyone have any suggestions?
