Re: IPv6

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure.  I'll have to do some research.  I just know on several RFPs I've worked on recently 
they specified IPv6.  When we asked why, they sort of incredulously answered because its the next 
generation and more secure and I think they mentioned something about a GSA directive.  I know they 
keep saying that it is coming and we have to be ready at the DoD facility where I work.  I'll have 
to try and dig some more.

Regards,

Brad Van Orden
