I have no need to use IPv4. My network does IPv6, my VPN does IPv6, so why would I still use a legacy protocol? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: ?lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

My network does IPv6, my VPN does IPv6, so why would I still use a legacy protocol?No, you are thinking in the wrong direction, there is absolutely no reason to use IPv6 internally. IPv6 only came about because of the shortage of IPv4 addresses for global internet addresses, you can and should use IPv4 addresses internally. However, it is your network and you can decide to not use best practise. Rowland

The next generation of network engineers should be completely IPv6-focused to increase IPv6 adoption rates on the internet. Using IPv4 internally will only steer them in the direction of using IPv4 on the internet as well, as the protocols require different levels of knowledge.> However, it is your network and > you can decide to not use best practise.I think a product that requires use of IPv4 as best practice should reconsider its recommended configuration methods and philosophy. IPv6 is the future. Users should be steered towards using future-proof internet protocols, even if there is no absolute necessity to use them internally; increasing its adoption rates in any network will improve adoption rates. Anyway, I highly doubt this mailing list is the right place to discuss this. My question was answered in your first reply, for which I would like to thank you. William

( helps that im dutch also ). Dutch Internet provider Ziggo is deploying routers that have only IPv6 configured for the lan segements. and IPv6 routings are more inteligent then IPv4.. I suggest, configure the AD-DC for both IPv4 and IPv6. @Rowland, its something we really should think about. Maybe i'll do a setup also with only IPv6 configured. I'll think about it.
