   As it *should* be.   The objective was to deploy IPv6 *WITHOUT* 
breaking IPv4 access.   From what I see on...

     http://www.mrp.net/IPv6Day.html

...many of the participants got web access via IPv6 running, several even 
got DNS working correctly.   But most never provided IPv6 to email.  

   But hey!  It was a start and it certainly raised the awareness of IPv6.  
We can now begin to lean on our ISP's and demand IPv6 addresses and lean
on the gateway router crowd to provide IPv6 compatable routes (such as the
D-Link DIR series).

   The ball is rolling..... :)
