A friend of mine showed me the following link
http://www.sixxs.net/forum/?msg=general-83948 , according to which:

- Windows XP (w/o any SP) -> ip6.int (only)
- Windows XP SP1 -> ip6.int (only)
- Windows XP SP2 -> ip6.arpa (only)

Also, according to your response and available releases,

- Windows Server 2003 (w/o any SP) -> ip6.int (only)
- Windows Server 2003 (SP1) -> ip6.arpa (only)

Are these correct?  (I apologize in advance if I sound picky, but
we're trying to gather as specific information as possible especially
because many users still stick to versions w/o the latest SP's).
