No problems using IPv4. The dig command using trace does not attempt to use IPv6 out of the network, but presumably without trace, one of the intermediate DNS servers actually requires IPv6, and my server tries to use it. Actually all three have two IPv6 addresses. Presumably they will be used within the network if necessary. -- Joe
