IPv4 IPs getting rare and more expensive and I wonder if it is possible to switch our web servers completely to IPv6. I know it is advised to use IPv4 and IPv6 but I still would like to know:
Is there any way to make multiple IPv6 web servers reachable using only one IPv4 address?
What problems would we face concerning for example HTTPS?
I'm using a IPv4 + IPv6 on a server (#1).
Sometimes the IPv4 address is mapped to another server (#2), so #1 isn't accessible via IPv4, but remains accessible via IPv6.
In this case IPv6 dns lookups won't work.
$ ping6 mirror.ipv6.hetzner.de
unknown host
If I disable the IPv4 address everything works fine.
$ ping6 mirror.ipv6.hetzner.de
PING mirror.ipv6.hetzner.de(2a01:4f8:0:a101::1:1) 56 da
I have setup an Nginx server in a machine which have both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Currently, its connected to CloudFlare and only use ipv4. I have 1 ipv4 address assigned to the web server.
Now what I want is, to become fully ipv6. Then connect to CloudFlare. So, if an ipv4 user comes to the site, CloudFlare will make sure that he can visit my ipv6 only site!
I am trying to implement dual stack for IPv6 support in a IPv4 system. I have configured a DHCP server which gives IPv4 and IPv6 address to the device.
My PC and the VM running on it gets both, IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. The embedded system I am working on needs the dhcpcd command to get IP address.
I was, previously, able to configure OpenVZ VMs with only IPv6 addresses, but when configuring a new VM, OpenVZ required that I enter a value for the IPv4 address and, using a dummy address (0.0.0.0, for example), was able to build a new VM. This process worked, but was not ideal, and I would prefer to simply use the single IPv6 address, if possible.

Hello all,
How do I assign IPv4 and IPv6 static addresses permanently in OpenSUSE 11.2?
Currently I am only able to assign either IPv4 or IPv6 static address not both. I cannot find even the interfaces file(/etc/sysconfig/network/interfaces).
Please guide me..
hi guys, I have a problem about ipv6 on F17. My network support ipv6. I add
Code:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
to /etc/sysconfig/network. I use Network-Manager to access network.
After I connect the system to network, I can go to ipv6 sites and use transmission to download via ipv6.
I have setup a web server (Nginx) and assigned an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address to it. In the DNS I have set an A record and an AAAA record. Now, I need to check whether its working. I need to check whether an IPv6 only client can view my site. Whether an IPv4 only client can view the site (I think IPv4 only clients can view because im IPv4 ).
How can I do this? I only have IPv4!
