I don't see any v6 glue there... Rather than having conversations about transition to IPv6, maybe we should be sure it works natively first? It's rather ironic to think that for v6 DNS to work an incumbent legacy protocol is still required.
Consider that Windows XP (and server 2k3) will not, under any circumstance, send a DNS request over IPv6, and yet they were widely considered "IPv6 compliant." Consider also how long it took to get a working way of telling autoconfigured hosts about which DNS servers to use (without manually entering 128-bit addresses). To me, the above show that the bulk of the actual deployments were in dual-stack or tunnel environments, and greenfield implementations were few and far between. There's a surprising amount of unexplored "here be dragons" territory in IPv6, given how long some very smart people have been working on it. -David Barak David Barak Need Geek Rock?
