Title: RE: ipv6 dns server. Wise or not, that is the standard. If you are using an ISP that does not support IPv6, and don't have tunneled IPv6 service, in most cases, you would not need to have an IPv6 stack installed on your node. In that case, the "preferred" IPv6 addres

Title: RE: ipv6 dns server. We've had pretty good luck with bringing a /48 into a *BSD router/firewall (using pf), with tunnels from various ISPs over our basic IPv4 service. We route a /64 into each of our internal subnets. Performance is OK. Note Hurricane Electric will only do /64 via
