Topic: IPv6 connectivity!

A small update:

While we wait for our data center to provide native IPv6 connectivity, we went ahead and setup an IPv6 tunnel with Hurricane Electric. All services are ready to talk via IPv6 and you may access them via:

ipv6.devio.us <-> 2001:470:4:2a5::feed:dead

Yes, we went there and had fun with IPv6 addressing :-)

Enjoy!

Re: IPv6 connectivity!

Thank you for the ipv6 connectivity.

I maintain the astrometry FreeBSD port, a software to analyses astronomic photos to identify objects. Last version didn't compile with the strange combo amd64 + FreeBSD 6.4.

October 5th, a guy did help me, installing me a FreeBSD 6.4x amd64 virtual machine but... with ipv6 connectivity.

From Wolfman, I were so able to connect to this machine, solve the compile problem and submit my patch. It's now committed in the official ports tree.

Thank you to having let me focus on solve the bug instead to report after ipv6 installation and configuration (I've yet to figure how to propagate my tunnel to the network, especially VMware instances)

Re: IPv6 connectivity!

Check if your server has working rDNS.

dig AAAA devio.us +short
2001:470:4:2a5::feed:dead
dig -x 2001:470:4:2a5::feed:dead +short

And you MX does not appear to have working RDNS.
Sad... :-(
