Please excuse my bluntness, but if it's not useable o nthe internet,
then what the hell point is there in even using it, as it seems it can
only be used on provate lans/intranets. IPv4 is very clean and familiar
and IPv6 is anything but clean. Since I first heard of it I have been
really hardpressed to find any real good reason to even use it over the
current 1.2.3.4 norm.
