Right. And you think an ISP will give you unlimited free IPv6 addresses? Or that they'll do so for very long? Remember, this is a world where DHCP is used to forcibly expire IP addresses (and dropping open connections when it does so), and the ISP didn't go out of business. This is a world where people voluntarily use AOL, and are happy with any policy AOL chooses to enforce. Don't blame NAT for bad configuration tools and poor user interfaces. If you don't want to use NAT, you don't have to. Go buy some IP addresses. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
