IPv6 with ddclient

Following fork will handle updates of IPv6 addresses. https://github.com/geraldhansen/ddclient

Installation

As ddclient is just on file, just replace them with the one from the fork

• Detect where the original file is located
  which ddclient
• Download Raw File
  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geraldhansen/ddclient/master/ddclient
• with cp replace the old one with the new

Configuration

With the new version you have the option ipv6, which can be used on the command line ddclient -ipv6 or with ipv6=yes in the configuration file. With this change ddclient tries to use IPv6 connections and use also the IPv6 addresses for the updates.

Update 2016-01-29

My pull request was accepted and merged into the main branch. The official ddclient version can handle IPv6 with it now.
