IPv6 support

[normanr]

It would be nice if nip.io supported IPv6, eg a query with a type of AAAA for something like 2001-db8--1.nip.io would return a record of 2001:db8::1.

IPv6 must be supported
there a lot of IPv6-only machines need DNS + SSL like kubernetes

This is a very useful feature. Wondering if there is any effort to make it happen. Or whether a related external contribution is welcome.

@rses Haven't been active on GitHub for a very long time, so no there is no effort underway to make it or anything else happen.

If folks need an alternative that supports IPv6, https://sslip.io is one.

I think nip.io is better but missing IPv6 support

[vanillajonathan]

If anyone would want to interested in contribute IPv6 support with unit tests I guess I could merge it.

Is there something that nip.io can do that sslip.io lacks? nip.io is shorter then sslip.io (also nip.io understands hex encoded addresses), but I'm curious as to what else it does that sslip.io doesn't.

@vanillajonathan I do read these issues though 😄 - I'm finding less time to work on nip.io nowadays, would really appreciate a PR. I agree though, that IPv6 would be a good feature to have
