I'd rather not have to deal with having to enter an IPv6 'numeric'
address, but I
would also like proper support for cases where it is a last hope
option. At the
moment it is an easy test to see how well a program supports IPv6,
since if I
provide a hostname chances are the IPv4 address will be used.
As you noticed, most things do work, and they are used. For
example many
services used with Bonjour prefer ipv6 when available, like afp
mounting between two machines on the local network, which means that
ipv6 is used daily by many (without them knowing (or caring)).
I haven't really payed attention to what Bonjour is doing behind
the scenes,
but using Bonjour Browser (http://www.tildesoft.com) I can confirm
this.
Yes. You can also check with netstat -na when you have e.g. an afp
volume
mounted, and probably in several other ways.
