There are few details, so before signing up I'd ask:

* Do you support IPv6 monitoring?

* Do you support testing from multiple locations? If so how do you detect local flaps with peering/routing? (i.e. A site is down from one source, but not the other.)

Hi Steve,

Yes - IPv6 is supported

We currently test from three locations. A site is considered "down", only when the majority of the probes reach an agreement. This helps us avoid false positives due to local routing issues.
