This is a service that is *different* (returns a different web page) depending on whether you access it using IPv6 or IPv4.heh. i guess i'll have to live without the dancing turtle, and so will all the other Internet users. i wonder what other useful content is not available on the real Internet and only available via ipv6. i keep asking this question and keep getting non-answers like this. the idea is not to have contents that are unavailable through ipv4. IPv6 is simply a network layer. that's not really the idea. the idea is to build a dual-stack global internet (which in its v6 part will be a more scalable and extendable one).the rest of fred's comment stands with useful information but i'm still looking for the tipping point where people migrate, en-masse, away from the Internet to this new, incompatible network. imho, flag days are generally a bad idea...
