  The normal attribute which contains IPv6 destination address is Packet-Dst-IPv6-Address

  That looks to be taken from the default configuration.

  Hmm... the example doesn't handle IPv6 addresses.  That's OK, you can just put the IPv6 address into another attribute, and then copy it into into coa:Packet-Dst-IPv6-Address later on in the virtual server.

  I'll see if I can clean up the example.  It seems a bit confusing in places.
