"IPv6 is never gonna happen," right? For good or ill, that's not true. At our current rate -- assuming no growth in demand for IPv4 addresses -- we will exhaust IPv4 addresses by the end of 2012. That's right... by New Years 2013, there won't be an IPv4 address to be had for love or money. (And IPv6 is a n essential part of Windows Server 200 8 R2's nifty DirectAccess "invisible VPN. .. but that's a story for another day.)
