[rpd] LACNIC reaches final /10 of IPv4 space

[Mark Elkins]

But there *is* IPv6 only content.....

Many of my customer facing admin pages show either a Static Tux or a
Dancing Tux - depending on your transport. try: https://vweb.co.za

A Swedish site was doing the same for a picture of a pretty woman (you
saw much more by using IPv6).

Other people have also presented IPv6 specific sites.

Best practise would though be to offer the same content on both
transport layers.
