The built in tunneling in Windows could be a problem so let's start by using different dns names for IPv6 enabled servers- mail.ipv6.yahoo.com or whatever. Can anyone think of a reason that a separate hostname for IPv6 services might cause problems or otherwise impact normal IPv4 users?
You mean other than setting it up once, forgetting about it and then calling the support line when it stops working? Don't forget that changing mail settings isn't something you'll want to do too often (speaking as the owner of an IPv6 mail server and a mail client that won't fall back to IPv4 when IPv6 is present but doesn't work).
Isn't his point that y! could offer IPv6 e-mail in parallel to the existing IPv4 service, putting the IPv6 machines in a subdomain ipv6.yahoo.com, so that end users and networks who want to do it can do so without bothering the others?
