Making progress I think. I have set test.agency.bbs.geek.nz to resolve to 2001:4428:200:816c::50 which is a subnet address from within the SixXS tunnel I am running that I have assigned to the BBS.
Next challange was to port forward incoming binkd traffic on the standard binkd port to that ipv6 IP address.
A port scan seems to indicate we are open for business.
Can someone kindly binkd poll me using this test.agency.bbs.geek.nz DNS address and see if your connection is ipv6?
Next challenge is to figure out why outgoing polls seem to try ipv6 addresses for some systems but not for others I know are ipv6.
So Nick B system it attempts to poll his Agoranet address and times out.

Bills system it seems to timeout also and fall back to ipv4
