Re: IPv6 Inside the DC (WAS Re: IPv6 disable - yes or no , and which method)

All new I might buy that. But it DOES limit the techs you can bring it 
to set it up at this point. And that IS an issue for a small company 
especially if a startup.

I have the FrankenLab completely set up for IPV6 Internally largely for 
learning. Once you get your head around the addressing rules and how 
that works and what's legal etc and it works fine.  I frequently now see 
shares and even telnet using IPV6 here because Windows 7 and Ubuntu 
default to that if they can.

Maybe I'll set up the entire COMMON lab and conference to be IPV6 just 
to mess with their heads. :-) :-)

I tried to get IPV6 on the outside but my ISP (a rural wireless 
provider) had the classic response: "It figures that YOU would be the 
first guy to ask!"  They don't have IPV6 provisioned yet.
