Im not sure what you read, but IPv6 is just another transport method - 
like IPv4.  It has nothing to do with server updates, or anything else??

What you know and understand now about the transition between Layer 2 and 
Layer 3 (ARP, etc), doesn't apply in an IPv6 world.  So things involving 
IPv6 are a little different (and worth experimenting with now, before 
we're all forced to go dual-stack and like it...)

Mark.
