Hurricane Electric IPv6 Certification

This page is dedicated to my pursuit of Hurricane Electric's IPv6 certification provided on their website. I will chronicle my activities, the different levels of testing I attempt and the outcome of each. Feel free to comment.

Internal/External DNS

This is a technical write-up on my experience setting up an internal/external DNS using two Xen DOMUs running NetBSD 4.0.1 and BIND 9.4.2-P2. The internal domain (i.fourings.com) is secure and not accessible from the internet while the external (fourings.com) is located in the DMZ and accessible for queries via it's IPv4/6 addresses.

IPv4/6 ACLs for Plone Content

I was able to implement this for IPv6 (which was my goal) and will utilize a Plone product AutoRole, Google Code ipaddr-py, python scripts, Zope external methods and portal tab actions with conditions.

Below is my technical information regarding setup the CA, Server and Client certificates using OpenSSL.
