[Cialug] Mediacom is using IPv6

[Matthew Nuzum]

Great! This is progress.

Now I wish my router let me specify DNS settings to use for IPv6 lookups.
OpenDNS has IPv6 DNS servers, but my router config doesn't provide a way to
edit IPv6 settings. Maybe this is not needed any more? I will have some
re-learning to do.
