I would be looking for a new job and it is a much larger network than 2 
routers is a big city.  :)    Sabri Berisha was correct: "The true enemy 
here is mid-level management that refuses to prioritize deployment of 
IPv6.   What we should be discussing is how best to approach that 
problem. It's where ops and corporate politics overlap."   What I always 
heard when I bring it up and they don't want to talk about it was 
"What's the business case?" They know there isn't one.
