It turns out that on "On March 12th, 2008, Google launched an IPv6 version of www.google.com, the most visited page on the Internet, under an alternative host name (ipv6.google.com) -- however that site is a dead link now.
...interesting to keep an eye on, and become familiar with if you're looking ahead...
UPDATE (3/30/08): try this inside your terminal:
bash-3.2$ traceroute6 -n ipv6.google.com
Thanks to Derek Morr for his comment straightening me out. :) Incidentally, he has some informative reads: http://www.personal.psu.edu/dvm105/blogs/ipv6/
http://ipv6.google.com/ is most certainly not a dead link. It still works fine -- provided that you have an IPv6 connection.
