  Hmm... I didn't understand about this point.

  If we already have 'IPv6 fintering policy' or some rules, then
  we don't have security problem. Is it correct?
  If so, this is not a serious problem, I think.

  If you have any other serious problems about this issue,
  please advice to me.

  Is this mean that I execute two IRRd processes on a server?
  In this case, how to share database files for these processes?
