I thought IPV6 opened up the flood gates of assigning "real" ip

In IPv6 you still need loopback addresses or something similar, but you
only get one of them - ::1. You also get the massive link-local space of
fe80::/10 on each interface including loopback.
whatever the heck Gene's talking about.
Historically we do not get very far here when talking about IPv6 with
Gene.
True Andy, but there's no ipv6 within 100 miles of me. This is rural WV,
not enough people to need it.
Thanks,
