It was so great watching this year’s shuttle launches and landings live with you.

No, I run my own nameserver with ADSL v4 connectivity, and HE.net v6 connectivity.

Interesting.

I understand that networks wishing to receive AAAA records from Google can register their DNS resolvers as being IPv6 ready. Are you using WA’s DNS servers?

FYI, I’ve noticed that YouTube has started using IPv6 quite frequently in the past 2 days:

Cache fill: 3.41% (571591 bytes) Resolving v4.lscache3.c.youtube.com for AF_INET6…
Connecting to server v4.lscache3.c.youtube.com[2800:3f0:4001::19]: 80…

It’s not constant, and I haven’t established any pattern yet…

I may have been that 6to4 MWeb user. I’m a little disappointed that my 6to4 tunnel goes overseas. I’m also disappointed that TENETs 6to4 tunnel was broken and now disabled.

Looking forward to next year.

Comment on Actually, I’m not ready to turn off IPv4 by Aragon

I’m glad so many content providers participated in this year’s IPv6 day, even some large local ones like MyBroadband. I hope by next year IPv6 will be far enough deployed that everyone tests v6-only as you (mostly) did now. I guess that is wishful thinking. :)

I disappointingly switched from 6to4 to a HE tunnel on the 7th so that I could be part of the day. 6to4 seems to be unreliable, at least in ZA – it worked fine a few months ago, but has been broken for me ever since. This was from an IS hosted server.

Ah, I knew I was missing something in your question!

Indeed, you are correct. The lack of IPv4 DNS means that you had to be dual-stacked to access the site, which is bad.

Thank you for pointing it out, I’ll have to fix that :-)
