Heh, good point. But as IPv6 address space is sufficient enough to give 8 billion IP addresses (approximately twice the total number of IPv4 addresses) to every atom in the body of every human on the planet, I think we should be good for a while. :)
Though back to a more related note (since I started this thread a while back), I think IPv6 support would be a nice feature to get working. I have been able to do it by hand, though using a GUI would be easier for most I imagine. The current IPv6=yes setting doesn't really do anything other then break IPv4 iptables. All we really need to do is load the kernel module to 'enable' it. For usability, we need to be able to enable and configure radvd and/or ipv6-in-ipv4 tunnels, which are both pretty straightforward. -James On 06/25/2010 10:15 PM, Darrick Hartman wrote: > On 06/25/2010 06:59 PM, Philip Prindeville wrote: > >> IPv6 has no notion of "nat" because NAT is unnecessary.
