I also know that most are not too willing to obtain another piece of equipment for their system, but using a LTM (F5 LTM (which is what we will be using this year)) to do the translation from IPV6 to IPV4. This would be an excellent work around for quite a few issues that I have read about such as email. I have not tested this with email but will be testing it with our DNS very soon as I want to get our system on the IPV6 Internet so to speak.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just a thought and would also like to hear from anyone that may have already done so or tried to.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best Regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tim<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#442E54'>Timothy Roy<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#442E54'>Regulatory and Compliance Unit<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#442E54'>Domain Name Operations<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#442E54'>Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.</span></b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#442E54'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#17365D'>Tel: +968 24574858<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#17365D'>Mobile: +968 93551117<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#17365D'>Email: </span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#17365D'><a href="mailto:timothy@tra.gov.om"><span style='color:#17365D'>timothy@tra.gov.om</span></a></span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#17365D'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:#0F243E;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Office hours: Sunday – Thursday, 7:30am – 3:00pm (Muscat GMT +4)</span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Script MT Bold";color:#0F243E'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
