        very - very close.  if you have fewer than 50,000 nodes
        in your net, and its not topologically dense, then you -can-
        run a native IPv6 net w/o dual stack (save on the edge translator
        and the DNS (and DHCP - if you have the patches)) for all of 
        them.  I've done it - on several networks.
