I'm in the process of doing OS upgrades, and IPv6 is included...but currently I shut off IPv6 because I don't have a IPv6 firewall solution yet.
Well there are lots of firewalls that support IPv6. If you can't find one you really have not searched.
That includes DNS, by the way. I'm deploying new DNS servers, and would be *very* interested in how to convince BIND 9.2.4 to answer IPv6 queries.
listen-on-v6 { any; }; If you want finer acls than that in listen-on-v6 then you want BIND 9.3 (currently 9.3.4) or BIND 9.4 (currently 9.4.1).
Another issue: the Plesk Web control panel software from SW-Soft doesn't seem to have any support for IPv6. The CPanel Web Host Manager at least lets me create AAAA records in zone files, so roughly 1/3 of my customers *could* have IPv6 capability. Lurkers: tutorials welcome.
