I’m happy to tell you that one of the most prominent Internet Registries in the Western world just recently selected a DDI solution that included Nixu NameSurfer Suite. Unfortunately, I cannot name names because I’m under an NDA… Then again, Nixu Software has not been in the habit of announcing the DDI deals we have made.

This was especially the case as far our IPv6 support was concerned. In fact, I was so thrilled to hear this, that I immediately asked my sales engineering team to prepare an IPv6 DDI Guide for all of you wishing to introduce IPv6 support to your DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management (DDI) environment. It’s now ready; it’s free; and you can have a look at it by clicking here.

Good stuff!

Here’s one of the most enlightening threads I received: “What do you mean by DHCPv6?” asked the tech support…
