[AusNOG] IPv6

I hosted several sites on dual stack servers for some time,
and found that in the end it was better to disable the IPv6.
IPv4 is clearly much more reliable than IPv6.
ISPs were very slow to fix IPv6 faults.

I think when browsers such as Google chrome start marking http:// sites as
insecure,
this will put a lot more pressure on hosters to move to https:// for all
web sites.

If web hosters do not have enough address space it might push them back to
IPv6.
(I think I'm ok for a while yet).

My point is that while ISP sit around and say that there is no content on
IPv6,
Content providers are sitting around saying that there is no reliable
transport.
Classic Chicken and Egg situation.
