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).

This much I did, using the address provided here:

http://wiki.tools.isoc.org/IETF71_IPv4_Outage

I have briefly experimented with wide-dhcpv6, though I didn't use too long since
both Miredo and Aiccu are able to provide the IPv6 addresses I need.


* 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).

I'll check this out.

* Firefox and Camino require a special non-default setting to work with IPv6. Go to
"about:config". Safari works by default.

Already done. As mentioned I am able to connect to http://ipv6.google.com/

I also got Jabber (Adium) working (you need an account on a v6 enabled server).

Cool.

I didn't try SSH, however.

This works when I refer to the local machine, and it even supports indicies.
