Not a huge amount of sites use it yet, but the number is growing and will do more so as hosting companies run out of IPv4 addresses. They are already restricted to giving one per server.

Hmm yes, I really do miss having 21 IPv4s - down to 5 now, and as far as I'm aware most server hosts will only provide you with 1 IPv4 unless you can give full justification for needing any additional IPs.

My server has a /64 block of IPv6 addresses but I haven't worked out how to get it working correctly yet, I did get it working a little but cpanel has no support for it right now so it will not work properly. We have 4 IPv4 addresses but only use the one. Soon there will be new sites without any IPv4 connectivity I'm sure.

I'm in the same boat - got a server with SoftLayer with a nice block of IPv6s, but cPanel doesn't yet support it.
Do have a look at this blog post:
http://www.cpanel.net/2011/03/ipv6-i...on-update.html
Looks like IPv6 will be supported by cPanel relatively soon. Now we just have to wait for ISPs to support it.
Also, if you have a router with DD-WRT, this may interest you:
