We had a machine labeled "lemonkiller" that we were intending to
transition services to. I don't think we got much past the installation of
the OS, and the machine is now old and decrepit. It's currently powered
off.

I think the reason we didn't want to make it a VM is that it needs to have
a connection to the W20 network to provide route advertisements there.

I've been having problems on and off reaching well-known IPv6 sites from
MIT; most notably, packages.debian.org. The problem always fixes itself by
the time I can get anyone to debug from the other end.
