Exactly.

So many people seem to be obsessed with getting the end users connected 
via IPv6 but there is no point in doing so until the content is reachable. 
The built in tunneling in Windows could be a problem so let's start by 
using different dns names for IPv6 enabled servers- mail.ipv6.yahoo.com or 
whatever. Can anyone think of a reason that a separate hostname for IPv6 
services might cause problems or otherwise impact normal IPv4 users?
