I talked to the support department at our colo facility, and they tell me that they currently do not provide any IPv6 at all. I was surprised to learn this, as I would think a colo facility would be one of the first places where it needs to be deployed. I guess I'll have to put the project on hold for now, or find some other way to do it elsewhere.
