The thing that blows my mind is how so many people are just putting their head in the sand, and claiming this doesn't apply to them.
While I DO agree, that for most endusers, this will not be a problem for some time, do we really want to postpone the problem until someone comes along and says "oh, btw, next week we wont have any more IPV4 addresses, just so you know"
I Live in Sweden, and have been trying to find isps that hand out IPV6 addresses and even in Sweden, that supposedly is somewhat ahead of the bellcurve, it IS difficult to find IPS that offer residential customers IPV6 addresspace. Where I work i manage the peering with our upstream ISP's and we have IPV6 BGP peering with all of them and have quite a significant amount of IPV6 addresses assigned to us (I dont expect we will run out anytime before the year 2100 or so, but i guess thats being conservative, after all, its not too long ago that Bill Gates predicted that 640k ought to be enough for anyone)
All in all, what do we have to loose in being prepared? I would rather be prepared and have all of my firewall and other issues figured out NOW instead of being forced to do so in a rush and just "throw it together", The excuse that no residential routers handle it falls pretty quickly. Wrt54g, everyones(?) favo(u)rite router has in some form or another had IPV6 support since at least 2006, probably earlier but that was just the first results google turned up....
So can we at least to agree to disagree, while I DO know that the last IPV4/8's are being handed out most probably in 2011 (Unless a miracle happens), those who get it will have addresses for quite a while, but we SHOULD all of us call our isp once a week or so and open a ticket on the lack of RA on our link.... Sooner or later (hopefully sooner, I feel bad for you poor guys in helpdesk) the ISPs will see a demand for IPV6 and deploy it.
Is there a paypal donation I can add some funding to, after all, among the politicians and lobbyists, money talks....
I do agree with some previous posters that the fua2007 (Fair Use Act of 2007) should not be needed, but unfortunately in the over litigious environment we live in here, its necessary to push hard for getting our rights back.
Then, 1201(a)(2)(A) provides that "No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that --- (A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;"
The key word in DMCA would be effectively.
What DRM (Well, OK, DCE then) today does effectively control access to a work?
Most DRM Schemes are rendered useless within weeks (often only days) of appearing on the market, the only thing those schemes do is make it a hassle for all of us who legally buy movies, music and so on.
It was actually mandated back in 1975 that the US needs to convert to the metric system, check out http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/misc/usmetric/m etric.htm
Quote:
Congress passed the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 "to coordinate and plan the increasing use of the metric system in the United States."
but it all fell apart since there where no deadline and all based onm voluntary conversion.
Have you considered looking at a PIX 501? Cisco gear is very stable and can easily be setup to do a fully meshed site-to-site vpn as what you are looking for. The vpn client is solid and works very good on all versions of windows. The drawback is the price, starting at ~$300 new, but you can probably find them cheaper elsewhere (Read: eBay) The cisco box can me managed via ssl and ssh remotely, it can be managed with telnet too, but doing that over the internet would not be a very secure solution. Telnet is EVIL:-)

Exactly, once you HAVE ipv6, it just works.

Are they using HP Storageworks maybe?
