[AusNOG] SMH: "No room at the internet"

[Stuart Low]

And this raises an interesting point that I've previously covered over
on WHTAU:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com.au/running-web-hosting-business-23/ipv6-you-ready-10830-2.html#post79739

Assuming the entire world doesn't just magically turn IPv6 so all
websites work via the native stack, I'd be interested to hear how people
in the ISP industry are dealing with situations where they've been
forced to NAT their IPv6 client addresses to an IPv4 website.

P.S. I'm @sysadmin so apologies in advance if my @netadmin pros are
lacking.
