ipv4->ipv6 proxy
[dk] Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 11 December 2012 14:25:39
We might be moving to another fibre-provider, and getting less ipv4 adresses for our webservers. The provider will give us native ipv6. How can I share an ipv4-adress between a couple of webservers which have their own ipv6-adresses. Some kind of proxy, which will forward http://host-a-ipv4 to http://host-a-ipv6 http://host-b-ipv4 to http://host-b-ipv6 Or should I give the webservers 192.168 adresses beside their public ipv6-adresses? Some sort of ipv4-nat is probably nessecary if the servers are to get updates from windowsupdate or debian.org mirrors. Or can windowsupdate do ipv6 only? Ideas welcome :-)

Which ISP is that? It is very strange if they claim to be out of IPv4 addresses already, unless they of course did not bother to get enough IPv4 address space in the last few months.

Depends more on what port/application you want to share. If it is just HTTP, then a HTTP Proxy will work perfectly fine, especially given that most websites use HTTP. Effectively your IPv4 address becomes what typically is designated as a load-balancer.

Depends all on what you need that for.
Or can windowsupdate do ipv6 only?
Depending on the version of Windows, the answer might be yes, this as they have Akamai'zed them some time ago, it depends though on Windows Update on the host itself it can use it.
