The big problem I have (and with our own IT group) is that their network doesn't provide IPv6 yet we have offered it as a commercial service for a decade or more. This limits the ability to troubleshoot and dog-food the IPv6 network when using their resources. This means we stand up our own resources because they are unable to meet our needs. This is natural in many businesses, you work around what is broken or missing to get things done. I would pitch it as follows: We need to at least have IPv6 access to troubleshoot/understand customers that have dual-stack technology. I found banks that would return NXDOMAIN instead of NOERROR when you asked for their domain name. This caused many problems until they corrected it. I actually got in contact with someone there by calling their whois contact. Was amazed that worked, but was a happy surprise. - Jared
