They also don’t handle other cases (even on IPv4) very well: % telnet -4 www.bt.com 80 Trying 62.239.186.73... Connected to www.bt.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET / Connection closed by foreign host. Whatever load balancer that is, it needs an upgrade and understand g’ol HTTP 0.9 as well in addition to IPv6 ;-) — Bjoern A. Zeeb "Come on.
