Coda clients and servers use the ipv4 addresses as a 32-bit unique
identifier and the volume location query responses don't contain
hostnames, but ipv4 addresses.

There is quite a bit of work left to get the clients and servers to the
point where we can actually use ipv6 addresses.

And it would avoid having to go through masquerading firewalls, etc.
It definitely would be a good thing.
