Dumb question.. what does the switch (L2) have to do with IPv6 (L3), or is it one of those 'somewhere in between the two' things?

Well, that's another problem.

To make a long story short, the network (not mine and I don't have any kind of
control over that either) that my customers (including me) are using, did put
in new equipment (a switch) over a year ago and after that I lost my IPv6
connection that I had previously. That switch does not support IPv6 it turns
out.

This is exactly the things that the customers really need to better understand
and why it's not gonna work for them.


You did miss a thing:

$ dig mx fredan.se

;; ANSWER SECTION:
fredan.se.              3597    IN      MX      10 mail.fredan.se.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
mail.fredan.se.         3597    IN      A       77.105.235.102
mail.fredan.se.         3597    IN      AAAA    2001:4db8:e001:ffff:2::17

So I do have a IPv6 connection but not to my customers.

How about that one?
