Has anyone looked at supporting IPv6 at this stage? IANA only has a little more than 150million addresses left that they can assign, and then the address pool is exhausted. Some are targeting March 2011 as the end date of IPv4 availability.

I doubt IPv4 will be unavailable in March. It might be difficult to get more public IP's, though.

IPv6 is on the feature list for the next version post-4.3. It will be interesting to test, since I have no IPv6 networks except my home
network to test it on. If any of you have a working IPv6 network,
then I will be interested in volunteers for testing it.


Regards,
Henrik

Hello,

IPV6 is in Holland available for home users. So if there is still a need for
a test environment, i'll be happy to supply this.
My ipv4 environment is still running on 4.23 but my scientific linux6
install is reachable via ipv6.

My first wish is to test http/icmp traffic.

Next in line is the availability of my ipv6 router/dnsserver etc. since it
is not visible on my workstations if ipv6 is failing.

Regards,

Ge
