I guess it was. Rereading my correspondence with Henrik from 6 years ago, it
seems we had it pretty much working using xymonnet2 at that time:
https://xymon.xymon.narkive.com/BbXHR8kH/status-of-ipv6-support (see my last
message in that thread). I have no idea what has happened in the xymon source
tree during those 6 years, and of course I don't have that config any more,
but if we could reproduce those results we might be one step closer.

meaning what exactly?

I'll go right ahead with those tests and stand by for any xymonnet2 trials you
might come up with.
