What are your views on IPv6 support in Hobbit ? How many of you have IPv6 enabled on your systems ? Do you have AAAA DNS records for your domains ?
Although I haven't dug into the code, I think it would be fairly easy to make Hobbit work with IPv6 addresses and connections. But I don't want to do it unless someone really needs it.
Oh - and this is obviously AFTER the 4.3 release.
Regards, Henrik
Personally - not a single thing IPv6. We don't even have a plan to support it.

I'm ike many of the other posters-- ipv6 is not in use on my network and probably won't be for the forseeable future. We've had a few discussions here and there, but most come to the conclusion that it isn't needed now, requires a lot of work to implement, and the time spent getting ready for ipv6 can be better applied to real problems we are facing right now.
If it's easy to do and doesn't detract from other hobbit priorities, I can't see any harm in adding hobbit support for ipv6. It will become necessary at some point, especially if legislation requires government systems to make use of ipv6.

We're in fact planning to move to ipv6 in 2008 for our server systems. Actual implementation will be in H2/2008, with Q1/2008 spent on making an inventory of devices & services and Q2/2008 we'll need to come up with an action plan. It does seem however that we'll be running dual stack for a long time, so ipv6 support at this time is fancy but not needed for us.
take care.

We expect to roll out the first bit of IPv6 network this year, and
would like hobbit to support it at some point. Initially, though, the
IPv6 network will be for unmonitored servers, so it's not a life and
death situation for us if it takes a while for IPv6 support to be ready.
To those of you not planning any IPv6 transition now, good luck when
we hit 2010.

/Thomas

Part of our infrastructure is IPv6 enabled, so it would be nice to have IPv6 support available. But it's no show stopper for using Hobbit :)

We don't use IPv6 currently and have no plans to, but in the education environment things can change very quickly. We haven't ruled it out if we should find it advantageous. Steve Holmes Purdue University

Almost all our systems are IPv6 enabled, and registered with AAAA-records in DNS (and with reverse lookups as well, ofcourse).

As co-worker at an NREN quite involved in spreading the use of IPv6, it would be wrong of me to say we dont need it :)
