I seriously think that adding a second question "have you considered IPv6" (if only to raise awareness "IPv6 is here to stay") might be a good thing.
while i might agree on philosophical grounds, i am trying to run v6 and it is not clear to me it is even 'here' let alone to stay. and certainly, there is no non-nat transition plan. and even a natted transition plan, in which hosts are not 'restricted' as in v4 nat, needs as many v4 addresses as a non-natted v4 network. v6 needs a lot of work. and i don't think we will have social fun agreeing on the caveats we would be obliged to put into a "you may want to consider" clause. randy
