When I previously tried running a midnight validator on preview, the bootstrap nodes were only allowing traffic via ipv4. Will these soon/eventually allow ipv6 traffic for validators that want to operate in dual stack?

Hey there. You might get a better response if you ask over in #Ecosystem channel.  
There is also a block producer channel in the discord.

Thanks for the response @IslandghostSteph! I have messaged multiple times in the block producers channel with no response, so I’ll try Ecosystem. Appreciate it!
