I was looking for configuring Slackware to use ipv6 but all instruction I found speak about using an ipv6 tunnel that encapsulate ipv6 request into ipv4 packet and send them to an external router that extracts ipv6 request and sends a reply (or, at least, this is what I understood).
Is that necessary? Isn't there a way to configure a pure ipv6 system?
Hi!
I configured a static SixXS IPv6 tunnel on my server. The tunnel is up and running flawlessly, also IPv4 still works.
But: It seems I have a DNS problem. When I try to resolve a hostname using nslookup and it does not have an AAAA record (aka IPv6 address) I get the answer that the domain does not exist.
After installing Debian stable (squeeze) I found that eth0 is not coming up, when I bring it up with "ifconfig eth0 up" only IPv6 is configured. Installation did happen in a home network with IPv6 enabled through a tunnel and a radvd router. Which makes me think it may have decided to disable IPv4, don't know how or why.
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!
Is there any way for IPv6-unaware applications to continue to work on a host with only IPv6 connectivity?
The IPv4 implementation of the host could know about the problem and just encapsulate the IPv4 address in the IPv6 header (like 0::ffff:[ipv4]?), but where are these pakets then translated to real IPv4 packets?
Do current operating systems provide that kind of functionality to IPv4-only appl
I'd like to set up an IPv6-in-IPv4 SIT tunnel server. I've combed through the Ubuntu IPv6 wiki page but everything is geared towards connecting to a tunnel as a client, rather than hosting one.
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?
Here is my problem. I have a server A that has two IP addresses. One public IPv4 and one IPv6.
Server B has only one IPv6 address.
I want to host most of my services on server B (because I have more disk space on it, I can control it better) but I need the IPv4 of the server A.
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
