This of course would only apply if your DNS server is IPv6 only. It
would not be smart to have no IPv4 on the DNS server as the whole IPv4
world would not be able to resolve anything. This doesn't mean the DNS
server can't reply with AAAA records with IPv6 addresses.

I was just trying out IPv6 on Thursday with Tiger (10.4.11)...
Some notes:
* You have to manually configure the DNS server IPv6 address (MacOS
doesn't support
DHCPv6 or RFC 5006).
* You have to turn off the MacOS firewall (it blocks incoming IPv6
port 53 by default
and there's no way to change that from the firewall GUI that I could
discover).
* Firefox and Camino require a special non-default setting to work
with IPv6. Go to
"about:config". Safari works by default.
I also got Jabber (Adium) working (you need an account on a v6
enabled server).
I didn't try SSH, however.

Hi,
I currently trying to test an IPv6 setup and some of the problems I
am
having suggest that MacOS X may be blocking incoming IPv6 requests.
The setup involves two computers on the same network, behind a DSL
router
with NAT.
PowerMac G4, connected to IPv6 network using Aiccu (sixxs.net)
MacBook Pro, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
Also tried:
PowerMac G4, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
MacBook Pro, connected to IPv6 network using Miredo
With each computer I am able to connect to the following IPv6
addresses:
http://www.kame.net/
http://ipv6.google.com/
Both computers have a web server running and ssh access, yet
neither is
able to ssh or open a connection to the other, yet they are able to
connect to themselves using the same IPv6 address.
Is there something that I might be missing? I am going to continue
to see
if I can find anything document else where, but if someone already
knows
something I don't I would appreciate the insight. This is proving
to be a
little problematic to see if my applications are handling IPv6
properly.
