I am therefore trying to use it as much as possible to see what works, and what breaks. FreeBSD makes it fairly easy to do that, but it's fairly hard to get to the web site over v6. Admittedly there is a list of v6-capable mirrors on the front page, and they work fairly well. However, I think it would be nice to pick one or two of those sites and add the AAAA record to www.freebsd.org. I have been simulating this in my hosts file using the first US mirror site, and haven't run into any problems yet. I think it would be a step in the right direction for us to support v6 for our site "out of the box." Thoughts? Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
