[ILUG] IPv6 day

[Frank Duignan]

Thanks Sergiusz, your DSL speed is not an issue at all as there will
be just a few pings sent.  Also, having 'just' a normal Linux setup is
not a problem - we still want to make this a long, twisted route.  So
far I've got about 6 people ready to do this and a few wacky ideas so
the next step is probably to put a route planning document up
somewhere - a wiki is probably the best bet.
I wonder if we could route our ping through every county in Ireland or
perhaps through as lots of other countries - what do you think?
