Hi, Randy:

1)    " ... dual-stack mess ... it was intended. it was the original 
transition plan. ":

    Perhaps you are too young to realize that the original IPv6 plan 
was not designed to be backward compatible to IPv4, and Dual-Stack was 
developed (through some iterations) to bridge the transition between 
IPv4 and IPv6? You may want to spend a few moments to read some history 
on this.
