Either you believe that IPv6 is coming, or you don't. I fall in the former camp though there are people who believe IPv6 is not necessary. I agree that it will be a long time before there are hosts that are IPv6 that are not also visible via IPv4. That all being said, it is important to start gaining experience with IPv6 deployments, and that pretty much makes it necessary that your firewall support it as well. In short, there may not be a strong business case to *need* IPv6 today, but it is prudent to start exploring it and gaining the experience necessary to manage it in preparation for the day when it is necessary and when the bulk of traffic flows via it. The sooner the better, I say. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
