As we have IPv6 on by default, some people may want to comment on this.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: IPv6 on by Default

The dual stack model is based on the assumption that applications can
try communicating to destinations over IPv6 first and fall back to
IPv4 if IPv6 doesn't work.  Before turning the dual stack on by
default, we need to make sure that this assumption holds even in
cases where IPv6 connectivity is not perfect.
This document looks at scenarios in which things can go wrong if the
IPv6 dual stack is enabled by default.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
