I don't see the problem. I've deployed IPv6 in may web servers, and nothing failed, we had firewall support for IPv6 most of the time, and otherwise we used iptables6. The DNS thing has been replied already as I can see. I think we have lots of documents on-line explaining all this, including our own IPv6 Portal (http://www.ipv6tf.org). And if answer is not there, let me know and I will try to create a new document for you about that specific topic. In fact, the problem may be that there are *too many* documents, and too much to read, so my recommendation is *start now* with a very practical mind set, at least with a pilot. Regards, Jordi

Steve -
For the first end site that has to connect via IPv6, it will be very bad if there is not a base of IPv6 web/email sites already in place.
As the network administrator for a Web hosting company, I've not seen any coherent (and useful) information about how I can provide both IPv6 addressing and IPv4 addressing for the sites I host. I'm in the process of doing OS upgrades, and IPv6 is included...but currently I shut off IPv6 because I don't have a IPv6 firewall solution yet.
That includes DNS, by the way. I'm deploying new DNS servers, and would be *very* interested in how to convince BIND 9.2.4 to answer IPv6 queries.
Another issue: the Plesk Web control panel software from SW-Soft doesn't seem to have any support for IPv6. The CPanel Web Host Manager at least lets me create AAAA records in zone files, so roughly 1/3 of my customers *could* have IPv6 capability.
Lurkers: tutorials welcome.
