f-root does this on the IPv6 side: 2001:500::/48
Whether that's available everywhere on IPv6 networks, is as Bill pointed-out, another question. One of the root servers not being available everywhere seems like a pretty lousy idea :)
On another note- are there any folks on the list who haven't at least started testing v6- either in a lab or on their home network? Is there a particular reason why?
Does anyone have any horror stories about deploying v6? (Aside from problems with tunnels resulting from A and AAAA records for the same host). With rare exceptions every transition I've read about has been pretty painless.
I found that my bank had nameservers that did not work properly when asked for the AAAA record as well as the A record. A phone call to their whois contact data resolved it! I believe they had to turn on some ipv6 compatability mode even though they were not doing ipv6 themselves. I suspect some folks are still using older nameserver software that has this defect. But the majority of websites these days work properly as the Mozilla, Safari and other browser engines have been asking about AAAA for years now and i've not seen anyone broken in years now. I'm sure someone is broken, but nobody I've noticed. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
