Major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services by 6 June 2012.
Already Facebook & Most of the Google services are available over IPv6( in dual stack mode with IPv4)
Though IPv6 enabled Internet is a long way to go, some should take the initiative. I am also taking part in this launch by enabling this site with IPv6. This blog is already hosted using IPv6 capable hosting provider Linode. So it’s just a matter of editing the siteinfo in Apache config:
<VirtualHost 173.255.213.212:80> ServerAdmin krish@krishnamoorthy.in ServerName krishnamoorthy.in ServerAlias www.krishnamoorthy.in DocumentRoot /srv/www/krishnamoorthy.in/public_html/ ErrorLog /srv/www/krishnamoorthy.in/logs/error.log CustomLog /srv/www/krishnamoorthy.in/logs/access.log combined </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost [2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe93:350b]:80> ServerAdmin krish@krishnamoorthy.in ServerName krishnamoorthy.in ServerAlias www.krishnamoorthy.in DocumentRoot /srv/www/krishnamoorthy.in/public_html/ ErrorLog /srv/www/krishnamoorthy.in/logs/error.log CustomLog /srv/www/krishnamoorthy.in/logs/access.log combined </VirtualHost>
Also, added AAAA record in DNS manager to point this domain to the IPv6 address of the host (2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe93:350b)
So, even an IPv6 only client should be able to access this blog ( of course some the embedded external content still hosted on IPv4 only may not load) For most part this is will be accessible.
