We currently support IPv6. Simply enable it during install or reconfigure your current install by running `pihole -r`.

Edit: Do you mean using the IPv6 address of the upstream DNS server?  
Edit2: Ok, just read [IPv6 upstream](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/ipv6-upstream/1284). Sounds like this is in the works.
