There's clearly two things that need to be done:
1) Major infrastructure (ie: backhaul, corporate, ISP gateway) need to =
be upgraded/configured to support IPv6
2) Edge networks need to start to hand out IPv6 addresses and name =
servers. I think it would be great if providers started handing out =
IPv6 addressed name servers when an IPv4 client does a dhcp renew, etc.
(eg: the NANOG conference lan gave my iPhone/iPad v6 nameservers..)
#1 should be easy enough to do
#2 is complicated as well by the lack of a single coherent edge =
technology that can deliver solutions

(btw: has anyone configured IOS PPTP/VPDN to hand out IPv6 that would be =
willing to share config example with me)=
