In fact, many (very much "most") sites didn't participate at all in IPv6 day, so certainly the ones that did get some kudos for playing at all.

And that's really the point: get up to speed, test things before hand as best you can, and then test everything you can. The whole point of the day was to expose problems (and successes)! You've exposed one and I'm sure are looking for fixes for it! My only real point is that you still probably don't know what problems exist with the DNS services if you didn't turn IPv6 support for DNS too. I do understand your hesitation, however, as it sounds like you were pretty sure there would be an issue. -- Wes Hardaker My Pictures: http://capturedonearth.com/ My Thoughts: http://pontifications.hardakers.net/
