Good job! More IPv6 is better :)

I haven't touched it yet, but looking at the docs it seems it will: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/rbd-mirroring/

"The cluster name in the following examples corresponds to a Ceph configuration file of the same name (e.g. /etc/ceph/remote.conf). See the ceph-conf documentation for how to configure multiple clusters."

So, in 'remote.conf' you can add the IPv6 addresses of a cluster running on IPv6 and on 'ceph.conf' the IPv4 addresses.

The rbd-mirror daemon will eventually talk to librbd/librados which will act as a 'proxy' between the two clusters.

I think it works, but that's just based on reading the docs and prior knowledge.
