I had a member of an account team for a networking vendor express extreme skepticism when discussing IP address plans and work I had done. When describing why I went with an IPv6 only solution for this setup, he responded, "Why not just get more IPv4 addresses? Just go back to IANA[sic] for more if you don't have enough already." OK, maybe it's not *just* marketing, but marketing (using the term broadly) is still a very large part of it. -- Jeff
