Is it possible to load the ipv6 module. We need to create some tunnels on the vps for using the ipv6 addresses.
I think the openvz kernel doesnt support the module by default. Is it possible to compile kernel or upgrade kernel so it can load the module.
VPS Gues OS is Debian

You'll need a kernel >= 2.6.16 compiled with openvz patch (don't know if the distributed rpms have IPv6 enabled, you may have to compile the kernel).

For the configuration, you'll need to create a veth device. This link should help:

I suppose you're using OpenVZ 2.6.8 series.
IPV6 virtualization is available only on test kernels (2.6.16 series, I mean).
