Two ways? That's how I'm reading it:

'Mockapetris believes Vista's introduction will cause a surge in DNS traffic because the operating system supports two versions of the Internet Protocol, a technology standard used to send information over computer networks.'

I don't think this will be an issue. Vista will probably suck in other ways though.

I can download things a little faster when using Vista as compared to WinXP...

This won't be an issue. IPv6 has been in testing for a few years now, and is being phased in slowly. It's a good thing Vista supports it, because in the next few years it will be the standard and IPv4 will be a thing of the past.

If something does go wrong though, it will be on the DNS servers shoulders, because they knew this was coming.

He probably means Vista will support both IPv4 and IPv6, the new standard with bigger URL's to give more available addresses.

I just installed Vista RC1 and I absolutely HATE IT. It is bloated and everything ha schanged. Tons of super gay picture menus, quick right clicks are not the same... easy ways of getting to options are gone... I switched to "classic" theme and that sucked just as bad... I deleted the install in less than 20 minutes... back to XP (I used acronis to make an image of old system)... anyway, I am totally disgusted with Vista and hate it BIG TIME!!!!

I don't think it will "stall net traffic", but I do see the potential for a new vector for pharming.

It's George Bush's fault.
