Hi Our company will prepare ipv6. I have the following questions We will apply ipv6 from ARIN and try to use it in hosting business 1/ Can we use it in our current AS which is using ipv4? If not. Do we have to apply new AS? 2/ Can arin not allow us to apply ipv4 for the future after we apply ipv6? 3/ Any advices to do ipv6 in hosting business Thank you for your help

No, you can route IPv6 & IPv4 from the same ASN.
2/ Can arin not allow us to apply ipv4 for the future after we apply ipv6?
If you need IPv4, apply for it. You might have a *better* chance if you already have a plan to implement IPv6, than if you have not considered it.

Software. Plesk barely has IPv6 support (>10.2) and I'm yet to hear about it from CPanel. Furthermore connection tracking in RHEL/CentOS 5 is totally broken for IPv6 if you're using it for IPv4 also... But mostly: you just have to dive in and see what works/what doesn't. Just don't test it on your live servers! Tom

FWIW: http://go.cpanel.net/ipv6 -- TL;DR: not there yet. Jima

Yes.

They're going to do that anyway once they run out, but it's not like "you have v6 so you don't need more v4".

Read a good book. :-) There's also tons of informatin out there on the web and in meetings. For hosting you really want to think about how to set up your VLANs. Each customer in their own VLAN is ideal but not always possible, mostly depending on how IPv4 is set up.
