To where?

I don't know how the network group would feel about having ipv6
packets flying around on the e40 net, but I'd like to be able to
experiment with ipv6 support on the machine on my desk.

If we're not providing tunnels for off-campus people, there are sites
like freenet6.net that will do it free.  (I can't comment much on the
quality of the service, yet, though "ping6 www.6bone.net" works.)  The
freenet6 service is configurable via a web page, so it's easy to
update in real time if your IPv4 address changes.  Their web pages
talk about providing DNS info too; I haven't seen it working yet, but
since I've got my own domain, I don't much care.

> 9) start playing with apps over v6.

I'm going to try to look at the krb5 core code (maybe not apps), if I
have time.  For some of the krb5 apps, I wonder if it would make more
sense to start over, adding krb5 support to (e.g.) the NetBSD/KAME
versions.
