But, when IPv6 is a bit more common, there is no need for virtual hosters to share a single IP address between several sites. They may as well use a unique IPv6 address for every single site, even if they are all on the same server. The side effect of this is that it makes the network operator's tool sharper, and able to knock down single sites with a /32 ACL. For a hosting provider, I would think that this strengthens the business case for IPv6.
But do the commonly-used operating systems support adding hundreds or thousands of addresses to an interface, and what would the performance implications be? -- Jeff Ollie
