If you want to make things even more interesting don't forget to run a dual stack set-up so that you can support IPv6 as well as the more familiar IPv4 (with 4 times as many bits in the addresses).

If you haven't got IPv6 connectivity natively there are way around it - I'd recommend a visit to the pair of guys over at SIXXS ( You may end up sending your IPv6 packets over an IPv4 link to a tunnel endpoint provided by one of the hosting companies donating the bandwidth, so obviously there is a bit of a round trip but it works and the various companies involved want your traffic!

With a standard tunnel brokered using their system I now have as many IPv6 addresses on my subnet as there are on the whole of the IPv4 net - say goodbye to NAT and gain a fixed IPv6 address (unless you have a setup that deliberately changes some of the bits of the address on a random basis)!

If you do that you can make use of those AAA records that you get!
