Address exhaustion is finally about to make us all take IPv6 seriously.

I know the theory; heck, I've even taught the theory in networking courses. What I would like to find - and haven't - is a source of practical information for introducing IPv6 into a network. How should the firewall be set up? What does Apache need, to make a website IPv6 accessible? What about HTTPS? SSH? DNS? What are the security gotchas? Hands-on, practical stuff.

I've looked around for online courses - I've even completed one. Unfortunately, the information was pathetic; I'm not sure I actually learned anything useful. There must be good sources out there. Any Soylentils have recommendations?

    I'll second the recommendation of https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ [he.net] I did it a couple years a go and, yes, they mailed me a t-shirt. :-) It is all _very_ basic stuff: configure a machine for ipv6, set up DNS, a web server and a mail server on that machine so they answer to outside ipv6 requests. Still a very useful first poke at v6 since it lets you play with the protocols in a connected way, not just in a lab environment.
