From the BBC:
The first big steps on the road to overhauling the net’s core addressing system have been taken.
On Monday the master address books for the net are being updated to include records prepared in a new format known as IP version 6.
Widespread use of this format will end the shortage of addresses that sites can be given.
The net’s current addressing scheme is expected to exhaust the pool of unallocated addresses by 2011.

I’m having one of those days. Now, without shedding any light on my position what would the security community do when designing a web portal? There are multiple vendors out there that provide solutions such as Sun, IBM (Websphere), Microsoft et cetera. But, the part that I would really like to get some feedback on is, would you use:
- one portal to unify internal and external apps
- one portal for internal apps, one for external apps
- or a portal based per function?
I would love to hear some thoughts on this one. Please leave a comment or drop me a line via email.
Thanks in advance for your time.
