Hi, I'd been wondering about IPv6.
I'm in the middle of setting up a mega-vpn bringing together lots of disparate address spaces. What do I need to do if I want to run IPv6 internally? What do I need to do when I need to talk to "real" (IP v4) addresses? If I'm talking to an IPv4 machine that doesn't understand IPv6 how does it talk back? Looks like a need a serious how-to...

This announcement by Roaring Penguin http://linuxpr.com/releases/11567.html had a bit that got me thinking. It states that the IPV4 address base will be exhausted in 700 days and that we should (by default) move to IPV6 That is all well and good but how many people reading this are actively using IPV6 (not just leaving if on by default but configuring things like ip6tables.conf, dhcp etc) How many are using an ISP that provided an IPV6 enabled connection? If so what ADSL modem do you use? If you don't use IPV6 then what are your plans to move to it (at least for external connections)? I visited a pretty 'with it' company yesterday and I was surprised that they have just about ditched IPV4 internally. They have one subnet left for those 'old' devices (HP Printers plus the odd Windows system). Everything else uses IPV6.
