Hey Chip,
Interesting, which version are you using?
My box:
Linux XXXXXX 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs6.0.2.542.170665xen #1 SMP Tue Jan 17 15:14:24
EST 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@XXXXX ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
XenServer release 6.0.2-53456p (xenenterprise)
[root@XXXXX ~]# ls /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
[root@XXXXX ~]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
1
Btw I plan to add this to setupxenserver.sh:
# setup ip6tables
if [ -x "/sbin/ip6tables" ] ; then
/sbin/ip6tables -P INPUT DROP
/sbin/ip6tables -P OUTPUT DROP
/sbin/ip6tables -P FORWARD DROP
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/ip6tables" ] ; then
/etc/init.d/ip6tables save
fi
fi
# disable IPv6
if [ -d "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all" ] ; then
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=0
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects=0
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf=0
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
fi
Cheers,
Hugo

The latest Xen Server install seems to have IPv6 disabled (just checked in my
lab). Is it enabled in XCP?
(I may be showing my Xen ignorance here)
