Yes, of course. iptables and ip6tables are mostly independent, as IPv4=20
and IPv6 are on any dual stack machine (with restrictions due to=20
IPv4-mapped addresses).

That may be a specific RedHat restriction. I don't know RedHat at all=20
and use my own scripts to create iptables and ip6tables rulesets.
