Comment(by nickm):

 For now, any testing needs to be on a private network on a machine with
 IPv6, since this requires a new consensus method from authorities to
 support it.

 To test, make sure any exit relay that needs to have IPv6 has the
 "IPv6Exit" option defined.  For now, clients can only get IPv6 when
 they're using SOCKS5 on a SocksPort with the "IPv6Traffic" flag set on it.
