Support for IPv6 was actually introduced in the 5.4 line of ScreenOS.
This is a fairly notable difference, as 5.4 runs on legacy Netscreen
platforms (NS25/50, NS5GT, etc), where as ScreenOS 6.0 is only SSG/ISG.

I have enabled the dual-stack support and played with it; it works.
Have never used the IPv6 stack in production.
