If so, they'll cut themselves off from practically the entire IPv6 network: administrators provide addresses as AAAA, not A6. Or do you mean that they'll look for A6 _and_ AAAA? If so, how does that motivate administrators to switch to A6? Administrators who switch will cut themselves off from all the other clients that look only for AAAA. Or are you talking about an imaginary world in which AAAA and A6 are both starting from scratch? ---Dan
