Bind, Safer DNS, and IPv6

The urgent need (by Nike anyway, heh-heh) to forestall easy domain hijacking could be the sleeper issue that finally ushers in universal implementation of IPv6."

  1. IPv6 and the IETF by mwalker · · Score: 5

    At every IETF meeting I've been to, including the most recent one in Pittsburgh, the IPv6 discussion went like this:

    Q: Is microsoft going to support it in a release OS?
    A: No, but microsoft research has a stack in development
    Q: Does Cisco support it?
    A: We're working on it.

    Then half the room walks out the door, and all that's left is the Kame project talking about how they can tunnel their ipv6 site through ipv4 to see the dancing turtle.

    IPv6 is dead till it ships in a microsoft stack. When it does, IPv6 will be real instantly.

    And you can quote me on that.
