Given a choice between rolling out complex and fragile rDNS systems, and telling people with such servers that the IPv6 world is different, I know what I'd do. >> PS: If you were planning to say that with the magic of IPv6, everyone will >> be able to run servers on their home cable connection, don't bother. > >I expect to have fibre to the home within 5 years as part of the >NBN rollout here in Aus.

Nothing personal, but if you think that upload speed has anything to do with the rules against servers on consumer broadband, you don't understand the internet access business very well.
