Host the DNS zones with he.net.
In the 123-reg control panel, you can edit the DNS nameservers and change them from the 123-reg DNS servers to he.net's DNS servers.
So, if your domain registrar doesn't support AAAA records, see if you can move the DNS zone elsewhere.

So far:
123-Reg - Yes AAA record available
LCN - No presence of AAAA record
1 and 1 - No presence of AAAA record
Easily - Yes AAA record available
Domain Monster - Yes AAA record available
Daily - Yes AAA record available
Fasthosts - Yes AAA record available
GoDaddy - Yes AAA record available
So not a bad amount of them seem prepared.

Ahhhh, that's the downfall Easy to manage at domain level, easy to manage at host level but fukxed at seat level. Bugger

Depends what you mean by "break the internet" Nobody will be able to see your site unless they're on IPv6, are running IPv6 tunnelling or use some kind of v4/v6 gateway like sixxs. There are mapping mechanisms but they're not automatic. According to google it's about 1% of users that are IPv6 capable.
To test it, try to browse to Juniper's IPv6 only site.

The 3 is 3000 and the :: is 0000:0000
The /128 shows that the leading 128 bits are the host id portion of the address. So now all I need to do is get Apache / lighttpd listening on the IPV6 addresses and I should be good to go. Will report back how I get on...
LCN have said they have no plans to put IPV6 in (idiots!) and 1 and 1 have passed the comment on... Nice to see so many others supporting it though.
And yes the :: is 0000:0000

So not a bad amount of them seem prepared. Now, one of the recent VPS machines I took out gave me five addresses, the NIC is configured as so (Ubuntu):
iface venet0 inet6 manual
up ifconfig venet0 add 2001:1b50:4000:3::58b4:bb19/128
down ifconfig venet0 del 2001:1b50:4000:3::58b4:bb19/128
This is not the full IPV6 from what I can work out... Will shoot them an email to see what I have to stick in the AAAA record for it to work

IPV6 for hosting
Anyone tried it yet? Yes, I have Googled - more than once
I have a new VPS with a good number of IPV6 addresses and I can set DNS records as being IPV6 but will it break the internet if I use it? IPv4 becoming a real pain in the arris...Tags: None
