Ah...  Yah think?

Yeah!  Go get your IPv6 certification!

They also provide free DNS hosting for up to 50 domains (total between
forward and reverse) which is really handy if you are looking for a few
diverse slave DNS servers to add to your existing servers or looking for
somewhere to host your DNS completely off your net.

If you're looking for IPv6 and NOT behind a NAT, HE is absolutely one of
the best (ranking right up there with OCCAID).  If you are behind a NAT,
then go with Freenet6 / Hexago / Gogo6:
