Funny you'd say that to a trainer. :-) This is EXACTLY why I am using IPV6 here in the house. ;-) I'll be sure to keep everyone posted. > Weirdness is not good. There are 2 unique problems from what I can tell. The first one revolves around exactly how you configure the webserver to listen on IPV6 addresses. You can create a webserver that listens on a single socket for either ipv4 OR ipv6 requests OR you can allow your webserver to listen for ipv4 on one socket and ipv6 on another socket. For me, because I am not hosting more than about 20 sites, it is of little relevance, since all I had to do is configure the webserver with a little higher number of child processes to handle the load. The second problem is not so much one of "weirdness", but something to be aware of. It is important to note that IPV6 addresses will almost always be "public", routed addresses (no more NAT). Because of this, you will have to be MUCH more security oriented to operate ipv6. I'm working on my IPV6 firewall implementation now, so those that wish to experiment can do so without fear of attacks (and the attacks ARE OUT THERE). -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS No virus found in this incoming message.
