I'm so glad you know exactly what I was doing.

Why would I do that?  Then I'd be running only IPv6, not IPv4 and IPv6
side by side, which, you said, was impossible?  Now you are claiming
that that's the only way to do it?  And yes, as a test, I did bring the
machines, in question, up in only IPv6 mode, and tested, and everything
worked for the day of the test, why do you ask?  Are you incapable of
configuring your machines to run any way you want?  Again, if you need
help, I'm sure there are competent folks here that can help you.

And someone from the Rhine institute called.  They said that you should
know their number and call them back.
