OK. Looking forward to getting the lab up. Since I can handle the volume I'll take both tables. At least in the lab. Looking forward to doing some experiments with DNS just to see what all the fuss is about. Looks like I'll need to order a Mac for the lab. No harm there. :) -Hammer- "I was a

Thanks Jeroen (and Ryan/Philip/Cameron/Justin/Etc.) for all the online and offline responses. That was fast. The struggle is that I'm having trouble seeing how/why it would matter other than potential latency on the IPv4 side. IPv6 conversations usually involve taking the full table when dealin

You should accept the full v6 table, because some IPs may not, currently, be reachable via one of the carriers. On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 2:10 PM, -Hammer- wrote: > So, we are preparing to add IPv6 to our multi-homed (separate routers and > carriers with IBGP) multi-site business. Starting off with
