   Hello Bj”rn,

   I can't find it either. Considering that my memory is notoriously unreliable,   
   I will happily give you the benefit of the doubt when your memory says, you   
   beat me by a couple of days.   
      
    BF>    I just hate it when I have to give up...  8-)   
      
   I have learned to live with it a couple of decades ago...   
      
   Other than that...   
      
   Here we have a saying: "onderzoek alles en behoud het goede". Explore   
   everything and keep the good things.   
      
   You don't have native IPv6. You have IPv6 via a 6in4 tunnel. So you have de   
   facto Dual Stack capability. But that is not the only way that leads to Rome.   
   Accepting DS-Lite or even an IPv6 only connecting from your ISP and using a   
   4in6 tunnel to have the best of both worlds is another way.   
      
   IIRC Tony Langdon is using 4in6 tunnels. When IPv6 becomes the dominanty   
   protocl - and we may live to see that - using a 4in6 tunnel may be better than   
   the other way around.   
      
   Plus that there is also feste-ip.net for those that only need a few ports   
   incomng.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
