[Discuss] Recommendations for IPv6?

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

I talked to the support department at our colo facility, and they tell me
that they currently do not provide any IPv6 at all. I was surprised to
learn this, as I would think a colo facility would be one of the first
places where it needs to be deployed.

I guess I'll have to put the project on hold  for now, or find some
other way to do it elsewhere.
