Add ipv6 iptables input plugin

[dangeist]

Hi, I use the iptables input module to count incoming requests to various virtual addreses. I do have a combination of ipv4 and ipv6 addresses served in the scenario, though, and the module looks to not support ipv6 (via the ip6tables command).

I signed up to be able to commit code, then created a new input module with ip6tables, built and tested it in my dev space, and tried to submit, but keep getting authentication errors. Am I doing something wrong or am I just not permitted yet?

You will need to push your changes to a fork, and then you can open the PR from there.

With respect to ipv6, it seems like we would want to add support to the existing plugin, unless doing this would be impossible. We can take a look at the code first though, that should give us a better idea on how/if they should be merged.

Thanks. Just did so. First time submitting a pull request, thankfully the howto was pretty easy. Dan
