Re: Apple Airport Extreme IPv6 problems?

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <jordi.palet () consulintel es>]

For a production service, I will never use dual naming for IPv4 and IPv6, is
ridiculous ask the users to understand if they want to use one or the other
to use a different name. For a testing, not an issue.

Jordi
