Somebody should probably get a blog instead of sending, *39 and counting*, emails to this list in one day.
It's a discussion list. We're having a discussion. Admittedly, Owen hasn't presented any solutions to my actual problems, but.. ;) Owen said:
The solution to number 2 depends again on the circumstance. IPv6 offers a variety of tools for this problem, but, I have yet to see an environment where the other tools can't offer a better solution than NAT.
Which is a complete non-answer. NAT provides a nice "solution" - even with it's problems - for small consumers and large enterprises, who have much higher percentages of devices that need (or even -require-) no inbound connectivity. Why should I (or my IT department) have to renumber the 5,000 desktop PCs in this office (a large percentage of which have static IP addresses due to the failings of dynamic DNS and software that won't support DNS (I'm looking at you, Unity.) just because we've changed providers? Why should we have to renumber devices at my mom's house just because she switched from cable to dsl? -- david raistrick http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html drais@icantclick.org http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
