RE: Dynamic DNS

["Tony Hain" <alh-ietf@tndh.net>]

Thomas,

These questions are more appropriate for an MS mail list on IPv6. I am
not sure which one, but you might start with IPv6-fb@microsoft.com. 

That said, the early ship versions of many implementations continue to
rely on IPv4 for transport of services like DNS & SNMP. Trying to build
an IPv6-only network in the short term will be a matter of persistence
and working out which products and services will work without IPv4 in
your network. Over time it will be possible to remove IPv4 from the
network, but if we required that from the start we would never get
anything deployed because there are too many players to synchronize.

Tony
