I wish to know whether FreeBSD supports NIS server running over IPv6

I'm clueless in getting information about NIS server over IPv6
configuration and availability in any Unix flavors including *BSDs,

Solaris

or Linux distros.

Except from configuring IPv6 and host resolving correctly, I don't think
there's anything different with respect to NIS. It's all based on host
and domainnames, so if a domain has one or more hosts with only IPv6
address, then it'll use IPv6.

I think, the underlying RPC portmapper needs to be "ipv6-aware". Whether
this is supported in FreeBSD? Do you think no other configuration changes
needed for NIS server / client running natively over IPv6 network?

man rpcbind shows a -6 option, giving it the ability to only bind to IPv6
addresses, so I assume it's IPv6 ready. I can't think of a network
utility/daemon in stock FreeBSD that isn't actually.
