www.menupages.ie becomes IPv6 - again.

In: IPv6, Networking

I previously brought www.menupages.ie the ability to be served out via IPv6. There was plenty of support for the task from the guys at blacknight. A range was associated to Page 7 Media and now we have www.menupages.ie up and running correctly and full time.
