Here to pick up some tips and to help out

A few months ago I made a major commitment to migrate to IPv6.

To that end, I have helped my ISP, ClearRate, to get their /48 v6 allocation, and soon I will get mine from them.

For now I am building a Linux box to act as my PPPoE router for my IPv4 and v6 allocations and have some basic firewalling functions. There are few IPv6 router/firewall options right now for SOHO/SMB use. This will change by the end of this year.

At both the RSA and Interop conference/trade shows, I spent time talking to vendors on IPv6 availablity. I pretty much cmae up empty-handed, but it looks good for those planning Q4 migrations. I will provide updates as I get them.

I am going with both duo-stack workstations, and v6 only (using Teredo for v4 connectivity). I will be looking at running my own Teredo relay/server to support this.

I run my own DNS server for v4 and although I am perfectly capable of editing the zone files wiht VI, I also use Webmin a lot. I will be working with these tools for my v6 DNS needs. I may also do some testing with products like InfoWeapons for v6 DNS, DHCP, etc.

I want to move all my VoIP over to IPv6. PBXnSIP has PIv6, as does SNOM phones. There is a branch of Asterisk 1.6 beta with v6, but it still lacks IAX and H.323.

So that is a sketch of what is going on over here. I will try to supply regular updates and help others out as I go.

If there were more customers like you IPv6 support would be expanding at a much greater rate than it is!

Re: Here to pick up some tips and to help out

I've been running V6 for a couple of years now. I started out with 6to4 at work, and a Go6 tunnel at home. After a years usage, I found 6to4 to be more reliable overall (and usually faster), so both sites are now 6to4.

IPv6 services in use are...
Web (Apache 2)
Mail (Postfix 2 and DoveCot 1)
DNS (BIND 9)
NTP (ISC NTP 4)
SSH (OpenSSL)

These have been working just as well over v6 as v4, no complaints.

Would it be possible to provide the necessary information, so it could be added to this page:
