IPV4/IPV6 Dual Stack Usage

Does the Linux 2.6.10 Version contain a dual IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack? By this, I mean, can the kernel and/or TCP/IP stack dynamically determine the type of network (IPv4 or IPv6) during run-time initialization and adapt to it? Or is the network compatibility determined at compile time only?

As long as you have the ipv6 module loaded and you have ipv6 networking enabled in your networking scripts then the traffic will be handled dynamically.

ETA: make sure you have BOTH iptables and ip6tables enabled with functioning rules.
