Deploying IPv6 in a datacenter (Was: Awful quiet?)

Wed Dec 21 16:38:34 UTC 2005

Have you used CNAME to AAAA records ?

If the customers trying to access the sites used XP with SP1, there was a
bug which make impossible the connection via IPv4 if IPv6 connectivity is
broken. That was sorted out already by Microsoft with SP2.

Otherwise ask for a traceroute6 so the trouble can be followed up.
