-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was thinking about seriously pushing IPv6 on my systems by starting to put AAAA records into the public DNS tree. However, there is one major concern here. I have about 30-35 web sites running on the computer that would be first to go live on IPv6, but the beta versions of Apache 2 are completely unusable to me as PHP won't compile with 2.0.38 (and I do need PHP support, it just is not negotiable - if anyone is familiar with how to get this to work, _please_ contact me). Consequently, there is nothing listening on 80/tcp over IPv6, but DNS and SMTP is available on IPv6 transport to start with.
Can I expect IPv6-capable clients to, if an IPv6 connection attempt is refused, retry using IPv4? The exception, of course, would be in the case the client system is IPv6-only, or such retry behavior has been explicitly disabled - but I think we can overlook both of those for the moment. Or, obviously, if only AAAA RRs are provided for the name in question. Any input is much appreciated, and if you have experience with setting up PHP 4 (any version, really) with Apache 2 betas, please get in touch with me as soon as possible. I am willing to share details on the problem I am seeing, but that seems off topic here.
