Syslinux - Oct 2010 - IPv6 and PXELINUX

Is IPv6 supported by PXELINUX? With the transition to IPv6 occurring
already, I'm seeing requests for supporting an IPv6-Based PXEboot and need
to know if it's supported or is planned for support.

It is not supported, because PXE doesn't support IPv6.

gPXE/iPXE is growing some IPv6 support, and I'm currently in discussions
with them how to make it work.  Unfortunately the gPXE/iPXE split seems
to have further delayed this feature.
