Yes, this makes sense
Well, there is no reason that IPv6 addresses should change (plenty to go
around, sharing not needed), so no reason for ddclient to need to support
"dynamic" IPv6.
But, in the real world, distributing IPv6 to users, particularly "Prefix
Delegation" DHCPv6 seems to be the general solution, which
It looks like ddclient needs a patch in order to support IPv6...

Have not tried it yet, but I probably will. Kind of surprising that
ddclient does not support it yet, this patch was offered up years ago.

Thanks Lonnie, my tests are returning success and I'm beginning to figure
things out. Discovered that VMware Fusion supports IPv6 only for bridged
connections, not NAT, which is fine by me.
Interestingly if I "ping google.com" from the AstLinux box it is routed to
google's IPv6 address, but if I
Hi David,
Excellent.
This is the obligatory IPv6 test site, you should get 10/10 from any HTTP
browser if it supports IPv6 ...

Speed test site that does both IPv4 and IPv6 (requires flash, so use Chrome)

The Status tab does not show any IPv6 i
Okay, got some learning to do. I've rebooted with IPv6 enabled. My iMac
is now assigned an IPv6 address, interestingly it seems to have been
assigned two addresses (on the wired ethernet, I have WiFi turned off). As
for the AstLinux box, status page is not showing my assigned IPv6 address,
only
David,
With DHCPv6 and "Prefix Delegation" you leave the "IPv6/nn:" filed blank
(actually, it will be ignored). "IPv6/nn:" is only used for static addressing.
There is a lot to learn about IPv6, not rocket science, but a lot of details
that any self-respecting geek should know. :-)

Okay, cool. Something to play with over the weekend. For IP Autoconfig on
the internal LANs do I leave the field after it blank, or do I have to
enter something akin to IPv4's 192.168.x.y ? Forgive me is that is a dumb
question, but I am not at all familiar with IPv6 yet.
Thanks

Hi David,
We recently added DHCPv6 client support (which Comcast requires), so if you
built an image recently you should have it:
*If* you wanted to enable IPv6:

Network tab -> IP Version: [ IPv4 & IPv6 ]
Network tab -> Connection Type: [ DHCP/DHCPv6 ]
Network tab -> Internal Interfaces: ->
