> I don't think either. I don't think there is another way then just 'hacky' changing the MONMaps. There have been talks of being able to make Ceph dual-stack, but I don't think there is any code in the source right now.

Yeah, that's what I'd like to know. What do the Ceph team think of providing ways for switching? 
We're not in any need to do so now but, it'd be good to know if the team dual-stack support or at least to test and document a way to do it as opposed to a "this should work but you're on your own" kind of deal.
