I agree with your arguments, and that IPv6 is a need in MooseFS. But
just one question :

Why would someone use *public* IPv4 addresses on chunkservers ??? In
our case, we use private IP on a dedicated VLAN for all the cluster,
and several clients have a public IP (to "export" the data), and a
private IP in the MooseFS VLAN.
