I just looked at a brief description at http://www.ipv6.org/ and it 
looks like they're going to provide backward compatibility during a 
transition period.

"Pv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4, such as the limited number 
of available IPv4 addresses. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 
in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration. IPv6 is 
expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a 
number of years during a transition period."



I don't think the transition to IPv6 will hinder your efforts using 
Rev. Mac OS already has support. Windows has some 
<http://www.ipv6.org/impl/windows.html>add-ons.

  IMHO, Unless you have a lot of IPs locally on legacy machines most 
IPv6 compatibility can be handled by routers.
