   Hello Daniel,

   There are tricks to make IPv4 only servers answer on IPv6. It is called an   
   IPv6 to Ipv4 proxy. As it happens my http server works that way. The proxy is   
   called Relay6. Windows also has a build in proxy. It is in netsh. The netsh   
   method is unstable on XP, but on 7 and up it reported to work fine.

   Tommi Koivula runs binkd OS/2 in combination with a proxy. Perhaps you should   
   ask him for details. Benny Pedersen has run XinetD as a 6to4 proxy on linux.   
      
   All that is for incoming. Outgoing is a bit more difficult...   
      
    DP> now i just need some time for this.   
      
   We wait (im)patiently. ;-)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
