   Ah ha!  So Mystic has this option to "Hide AKAs" in a node's binkp settings   
   which I had set for some reason.  I've turned that off and #'ed out the ./mis   
   poll 77:3/1 line.  So now I should be able to poll mail from you in one go.   
      
   Imagine all of the bandwidth we'll save!  ;)

   Good to see that IPv6 tunnel is working.  The native IPv6 I have with my ISP   
   changes the prefix so often that it made it hard to use w/ my DNS provider who   
   doesn't (yet) support dynamic IPV6.  I'm now using this OpenVPN tunnel through   
   6project.org which gives me one static IPV6 address (they could have given me a   
   /80, but I only need the one address).
