Research direction

Start with the linked ModSecurity v2.x Reference Manual section for the @RBL operator and compare its IPv4 behavior with the documented IPv6 support of other functions. Trace the @RBL implementation and its tests to determine whether IPv6 is unsupported or only undocumented; done means the behavior is established and the necessary implementation or documentation scope is clear.
