[bitfolk] ~12 minute IPv6 outage starting around 06:52Z

Hi, At around 06:52Z today we lost IPv6 connectivity for about 12 minutes. This was due to one of our colo provider's routers crashing. They run a redundant network so it should failover, and did for IPv4, but we're experiencing some problems with IPv6 failover which meant it took longer than we would like or find acceptable. The same thing happened last Thursday and that time initially due to a miscommunication we believed that v6 was down because of the router failure, when in fact it was not expected under those circumstances. Since then I have been working to identify why v6 failover takes so long and to improve it, but we are not there yet. The router that died today is the same router which died last Thursday. It had been up for over 4 years and so its failure last week was deemed an aberration and it was power cycled. I have now flipped routes around so the other router is first choice for v6, but will continue to work on v6 failover. Apologies for the disruption!
