This Blog is now reachable via IPv6 http://2A00:CD0:1:1810::15 in addition to IPv4. As my DNS provider Hosteurope does not support AAAA DNS records, which is necessary for resolving www.wiik.de to the IPv6 address, I also have to switch my DNS to UM. The unbelievable Machine Company in Berlin offers a IPv6 hosting and DNS infrastructure. Moving the domains to another provider will need a couple of days, of course. By the way, this blog is running in a Dual Stack IPv4 / IPv6 Sun Solaris 10 10/08 Zone on ZFS, now.

Hi!
The IPv6 syntax for a numeric IPv6 address has []‘s in it – so your blog will be at http://2A00:CD0:1:1810::15/ until your DNS is added.
For example: http://ipv6.he.net/ is also at http://2001:470:0:64::2/ should anyone want to remember those numbers.
Enjoy your blog in IPv6 space! I know I will once the DNS is added.

Hi!
OK, I get it. WordPress is editing the []‘s out of numeric IPv6 URL’s. Looks like WordPress is not IPv6 friendly.
Maybe adding spaces would make it show up?
http : / / [ 2A00:CD0:1:1810::15 ] /
-or-
http : / / [ 2001:470:0:64::2 ] /
Sorry for the double-comment – I guess I’ve never typed in an IPv6 numeric URL into a blog before today.

Hi Martin,
thanks for the tip, just modified the link with “[ ]” in the original post.
In wordpress comments it’s not working as there seems to be some filtering,
but in posts it’s fine.
