      I just did a host lookup and found the following:

      $ host netgate.com
      netgate.com has address 208.123.73.84
      netgate.com has IPv6 address 2610:160:11:11::84

      $ host forum.netgate.com
      forum.netgate.com has address 208.123.73.199

      While Netgate has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, this forum only has IPv4, even though they're probably in the same subnet.

      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

        Good question. Probably just something we didn't setup initially to keep things simple when transitioning. We'll look into it.
