Why dont create /dns command for IPv6?

[14:31:49] * /dns: no such user 3ffe:80ee:dc7::1

i hope that in the future mirc (like windows xp) will support ipv6 , maybe a build in v4-to-v6 bouncer, or atleast the dns stuff would be nice to

sure i agree with you

What for? There is no such think as IPv6 on the Internet... well at least not yet. At this time IPv6 is only used on some (rare) private networks where it's totally useless. I don't foresee IPv6 on the Internet for a long time. Someday, but not now.

I have seen IPv6 servers on more than one network already. I have also seen IPv6 hosts on IRC as well.

Hmm.. IRCnet is for you a "some private network"?

dude,
you'll find if you have a look at the currently support applications for the IPv6 platform, such unix clients like ircII, BitchX, epic and irssi currently have IPv6 support, and it is likely that developers will be working on a next generation IRC protocol. dont make assumptions of such nature until you actually have read into the documentation on it. may i suggest the Linux-IPv6-HOWTO for a starting point?
have fun...

I agree, mIRC should have IPv6 support. Does it need it right this second, no I don't think so, but sometime soon (year or so) would be nice.

As for IPv6 as a whole, our entire network is running IPv6 with ip6-to-ip4 tunnels. We are basically just waiting for it to become more widespread and then we can DIE the tunnel service and be 100% IPv6. Still tunneling remote connections from IPv4 users obviously. So it is coming sooner then some people obviously think. Also many ISPs in the Seattle area already have IPv6 roll over plans and many are ever running 100% IPv6 networks (minus workstations) and IPv4 users are accessing over a transparent tunnel.
