i was reading on the bbc.co.uk news site that there enough new ips in the pool to last another 18 months then its brown pants time after that for every1 so we wont have todo much til then

Yep, upgrade ipv4 to ipv6.

A bit complicated. Just means we have to allocate more space to put IPs in and use more thorough IP equivalency functions than just string comparisons in the MCC sources. This has been noted down for V3 ;)

its gonna be a pain in the ass once we all switched over now soon as we've got more to forget

I don't see why MCCodes needs to be changed, even if you are using IPv6 protocol.

I don't think I will be changing anytime soon, because my DNS server for instance(bind9), won't allow this to me unless I change everything.
