[ipv6-wg@ripe.net] ipv6-enabled webserver
Hi, all I'm in my way to investigate on ipv6 trial and implementation. Now i'm stucking with a quite big question on ipv6-enabled software. As i saw, ipv6 web services is entirely implemented in almost such large ipv6 research projects as KAME, WIDE, GEANT... In Japan, some ISPs offer ipv6 web hosting to their customers. Many websites support native ipv6 such as RIPE, APNIC... Could you pls show me what kind of webserver software be used in above-mentioned projects and organisations to fully implement ipv6 web service to users. Thanks.

We use Apache2 for IPv6 enabled web hosting customers (<< and we're not in Japan, we're in Europe/Germany :) ), and have had good success with it. Our reference machine is our corporate server, http://www.space.net/. Rumors say that recent Windows IIS's have IPv6 as well, but we have no experience with it.

Hi,
What do you use for IPv6 loadbalancing?
as far as I know F5 BigIP v9 is the only one capable of doing that. Unfortunately they charge a serious amount of money (about 10kEUR per device) for a licence to use this feature. It is called "IPv6 Gateway Module" and reading their website you might think that it is only needed to gate between v4 and v6 (v6 client connecting to a v4 real server), but it won't even allow you to configure an IPv6 address on an interface without the licence key.

Can you elaborate on the loadbalancer? What are you using for that? The "mainstream" devices (like Cisco CSS) don't seem to do IPv6 yet.

We are extremely pleased with the boxes (two 3400s in active/passive resillience mode). We have bought most generally available licences including the (quite expensive) IPv6 one.

Pre- as well as postsales support is magnificent and the boxes have not shown any unexplained behavior since we brought them up in the beginning of 2005. groet, Pim -- ---------- - - - - -+- - - - - ---------- Pim van Pelt Email: pim@ipng.nl http://www.ipng.nl/ IPv6 Deployment -----------------------------------------------
Hi, Thank you all for your supports. Collect information from your emails, i saw Apache2 is a very popular solution to choose when offering ipv6 web service. Pls don't laugh at me, i used to try Apache2 in my lab. However, my website i tried is very simple one with html only. And now is just my very matter: as my knowledge, Apace2 doesn't support Java application. So how can I use Apace2 to offer a fully application-website like our present ipv4 one (hosted in Sunone webserver). Say in another way, make our ipv4 website support both ipv4/ipv6. That's why i would like to find our about web servers already used in APNIC, RIPE, Kame, other organisations... to see if they use any other webserver than Apache2. When offer ipv6 web service with Apache2, how to make it fully support java applications ? Pls help me once more ! Thanks. Have a wonderful new week.

You can use Tomcat with Apache2 if you prefer open-source solutions and you need IPv6 support. However SunONE Webserver 6 does support IPv6. Regards, Janos Mohacsi Network Engineer, Research Associate NIIF/HUNGARNET, HUNGARY Key 00F9AF98: 8645 1312 D249 471B DBAE 21A2 9F52 0D1F 00F9 AF98
