That's what I did too, it works the best, you really need to make sure that the 
connectivity you turn up actually works. I started with the internet 
connections, and luckily HE.net also offers free BGP tunnels for PI 
connectivity, which will do in a pinch and you still can maintain redundancy of 
only 1 ISP can actually do native yet.

From there I started with the firewalls and routers, dual stacked those first. 
I then did some servers, some Linux, some Windows. DNS was first, then email. I 
wish more ISPs dual stacked their email servers, they are prime candidate 
because nothing dies instantly and delivery is retried. It seems so obvious, 
and everybody is focusing on port 80, weird. Email for offices also seems like 
the prime candidate for end-to-end for businesses. More then websites.

I still see plenty of companies hosting their own email.

Oh, and if you add a IPv6 on a AD server, do all of them at once. Because ipv6 
is preferred, they will all try that single server with a IPv6 address. That is 
address preference for you!

So make sure that for some of the steps you deploy it just like IPv4, not a 
little bit, but all the way.

Add all the IPv6 addressing to your monitoring before going any further. You 
don't want to fly this blind. We use Nagios, it works well enough, I can't see 
BGP table size, but I can monitor next hop with ping6, so that worked fine.

The clients still don't have IPv6, but everybody browses the net via a dual 
stack squid proxy, so they didn't even notice. At some point in 2013 the 
clients will get a IPv6 address too, dhcp6 only, no autoconfig for management 
reasons.

Not that the clients can actually get out to the internet, they can't now with 
IPv4, so no change there.

Seth
