As promised. http://www.linode.com/IPv6/ has a little more info, but for now if you want a Pool assigned simply open a ticket.

Enjoy!

Wonderful! I might ask to move my Linode from London just so I can get on native IPv6 sooner.

I noticed today that the IPv6 FAQ page indicates that reverse DNS for IPv6 addresses has now been enabled. Yay! But in checking out the manager page it still seems oriented towards IPv4 only.

Is this just a case of the FAQ getting updated in advance of the manager or is there something I'm missing?

Remote Access subtab -> Reverse DNS. Then perform a forward lookup. It will present you with both A and AAAA results.

Ah, I see. My bad for not experimenting more. I think I expected separate entry fields since I use different domains for IPv4 vs. IPv6, but it just takes any lookup response and matches on either (or presumably both) types. So my IPv6 name lookup only updates the AAAA reverse record and leaves the IPv4 address with its existing name. Nice.

Oh, and thanks on the IPv6 work to date too! It was nice (even for a very modest corporate site) to be able to have native IPv6 and participate in IPv6 day. Even if it does still take a long time for more prevalent use.
