Well, thats interesting on both counts. To the first, I don't have the hardware yet, but I was making some investigations to explore what I should be getting to implement IPv6. To the second, can you recommend any material on how this is possible? I have a pretty good knowledge of IPv4, but I haven't had the chance to look at IPv6 yet. That said, from what I do know I wasn't sure about the routing and how my ISP was going to forward the packets. And from my understanding, IPv6 is going to be a whole lot more fun than the previous era... :) Thanks again for clearing that up.
