ipv6 is starting to see some actual usage

Brandon — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:07:54 +0000

brandon-mbpro:~ brandon$ host more.net
more.net has address 198.209.253.10
more.net has IPv6 address 2610:e0:1:50:198:209:253:168
more.net mail is handled by 5 smtp.more.net.

MARK – this is the 1st time I have seen a hostname resolve to an ipv6 address out in the real world.

Just more grass.
