Re: Mass ipv6 lookups

[Ramon Kagan <rkagan@YorkU.CA>]

I don't disagree that IPv6 is here to stay.  I don't have any problems
with it per se.  My problem is that at this time this should be a
configuration option, not a 'shove it down the throat and deal with it'.
As many have said, IPv6 is not really big yet.  So my question remains,
why de-optimize (can't think of a better word) my DNS servers.  We've gone
to linux to save maintenance on some systems but now I have to build/buy
new DNS servers and increase my maintenance.  Backfired I guess.
