In my 40+ years career I've only encountered one (1) client that ran IPv6 internally (oddly enough, a law firm) and that was by management decree, not the tehchies' (come to think of it, I don't think they *had* a techie department). Roll the lawyer jokes... My router tries IPv6 first, but inevitably falls back to IPv4; IPv6 is a camel i.e. a horse designed by a committee. If you've ever tried to grok the IPv6 spec, your brain will explode... -- Dave
