OK, I had forgotten that test of IPV6. IPV4 local address space dual stacked with IPV6 global address space is going to exist for years to come. Mostly I was worried about some new project not being able to get / afford a public IPV4 address once scarcity really kicks in hard.

I tested this back in Dec 2008 (with a BOINC project having *only* an AAAA record), and mentioned it again in reply to a post of yours in May 2010. I have seen some work to implement IPv6 for GUI RPCs, but I have no idea what's the current status; David? -- Nicolas _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
