yep, agreed - doing ipv6 now is a sensible business proposition. But it needs to be tempered with the realisation that for nearly all networks, ipv6 is complementary to ipv4 and not a replacement; nor will it become a replacement until the time that people feel that adding A records to their hostnames is unnecessary.
Absolutely concur -- it's a really hard sell to enterprises in the U.S. for any compelling reason, at least right now, why they should take great pains (ad it would be *great* pain) to move to IPv6 while their IPv4 networks work just fine. Also, IPv6 introduces some serious security concerns, and until they are properly addressed, they will be a serious barrier to even considering it. $.02, - - ferg - -- Paul Ferguson VP Threat Intelligence, IID PGP Public Key ID: 0x54DC85B2 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlMvCwEACgkQKJasdVTchbJUkwD/eWydkUd7DE7XD9V5ETTENzsa fjuzzOR5l+t/0wE0EPYBANVVCYSBoFA7XeD5twSGDZcO+nvCK6BDwlRju9W+5iH5 =FBBN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
