and certainly not the answer.
Frankly, I could give an excrement less about it, its not yet ready for prime time in any event, and the changeover will have to be done globally in order for it to have a snowballs chance in hell of its working as intended.
NAT? Thats the answer AFAIAC. With NAT, not done in my router or DSL modem but in my firewall box with iptables, my little 2 machine home network is invisible to all the script kiddies. One port, the identd port is seen, and is reported to be closed by the external scanners I've sicced onto it. Scanners get better all the time, so I redo that at about monthly intervals to make sure its still a nobodies home and the lights are out situation.
Until I can have that sort of secure feeling using ipv6, it is apparently an answer looking for someone to ask the right question. I haven't seen anyone even come close to asking it yet...
