Mon, 27 Dec 2004 00:00:02 GMT jgarzik@pobox.com http://linux.yyz.us/ipv6/proxy.html http://linux.yyz.us/ipv6/proxy.html There exists a catch-22: the most popular web sites on the Internet don't have any incentive to switch to IPv6 until a large portion of their userbase is on IPv6, and their user base does not have a large incentive to switch to IPv6 until many of the popular Internet destinations support IPv6. My proposed solution is simple: Configure a proxy server that serves IPv6 HTTP and FTP requests, passing those requests through to underlying IPv4-only servers that not have yet been transitioned to IPv6.
