Currently XMBC only display IPv4 address information in the system status. As a result, if you've only got IPv6 name servers in your resolv.conf, XMBC displays the DNS servers as 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0 instead of the IPv6 name servers.
In addition to the cosmetic changes, the API doesn't appear to support IPv6 either. I could be wrong though, I'm basing this off the fact that I couldn't connect via the XBMC remote control application on android when I specified a hostname that resolves to an IPv6 address. Support for IPv6 on the API would also mean that users with IPv6 connectivity via their cell phone provider, would be able to control XBMC without having to first connect to WiFi to use the XBMC remote.
