If you install RHEL6 from the Red Hat DVD it is.  And, I believe, the same is true for RHEL5.

This is a perfect LMGTFY moment. Because I'm not finding it. 

Is
IPv6 enabled by default in common Linux distros? Where is this documented? 

The question came up while I was investigating an issue at work and saw IPv6 connections between a server and its database server.


I know, and confirmed, there's no IPv6 routing in our internal network. The DB server is in a secure enclave, so I know the traffic routed. 

But both endpoints are Linux servers, they are tunneling IPv6 through IP4.
