Hi.
I'm steven hixson I'm somewhat of a hobbyist who's working with ipv6. I have
an ipv6 router and dns server set up, Ive even set up an IPv6 tunnel and I
have a fairly large address range with which to present data. just that I
dont think my AAAA records are listed anywhere or whatnot and I'm really
having a difficult time deciding what to do next with the address range I
have been allocated. Ive added the microsoft advanced networking stack on my
intranet and the system appears to respond normally. My question is, whats
my best next step? I had considered setting up a point of presence so that
other machines could tunnel, after I build my next server, but the standard
IP addresses (v4) I have been allocated amount to only the one. Finally, if
I were to construct a series of virtual servers for use on the IPv6 internet
would there be a market for the machines? What would you like your server to
be capable of?

> I share views with Jeroen and Pim van Pelt. I do not feel that CTN1 has
met all of the requirements to request a pTLA. They don't seem to have an
immediate need for one, especially with only one BGP uplink. Why not just
get IPv6 space from your uplink / transit provider?
