An admirable sentiment, in my view, although that _will_ get you flamed
around these parts.

Once more, for the record, I think we should run both IPv4 and IPv6.  IPv4
for the core and base network that everyone can use and IPv6 as well for
the more adventurous among us.

No.  This is security through obscurity at best.  Besides, many operating
systems support IPv6 already and it's easy to work out you're dealing with
an IPv6 network with a packet sniffer.

(BTW, there are bad guys on the 6Bone already.)

Try www.6bone.net for starters.

Otherwise, use the Google, Luke.  The best way to learn is to try.  And of
course there is no try, only do.  :)
