[sf-lug] [www.]ipv6.sf-lug.{org,com} [Re: SF-LUG & IPv6 :-)]

[Michael Paoli]

And for those that may be interested, curious, or might find it useful,
if one accesses the sf-lug website via any of these DNS names in the URLs:
http://www.ipv6.sf-lug.org/
http://ipv6.sf-lug.org/
http://www.ipv6.sf-lug.com/
http://ipv6.sf-lug.com/
One gets IPv6 only access to the site (it won't work if you don't have IPv6).
Same content, just alternatives names (with the "ipv6." portion added)
to access via IPv6 only if/when one may want to do or test that.
If one doesn't include the "ipv6." portion, the site has both IPv6 and
IPv4, so one doesn't have to use ipv6 names (unless one wants to exclude
IPv4).
