REGISTRY part of NetSol here, I think David means the REGISTRAR part no?
To my knowledge, there is no registry part of Network Solutions. Network Solutions and VeriSign are two distinct companies with distinct roles re: the current topic. VeriSign runs the .com/.net registry and Network Solutions is an ICANN-accredited registrar that registers .com/.net domain names. As I wrote in a previous post in this thread, VeriSign has supported AAAA RRs in the .com/.net registry for over five years (since May, 2002). Individual registrars may or may not support provisioning AAAA RRs for their customers. Network Solutions appears to have some level of support for AAAA RRs because I am aware of domain names registered through them that have AAAA RRs. If one wanted to create a list of all registrars supporting IPv6 for .com/.net domain names, and if one had a copy of the .com and .net zones (which are freely available; see http://www.verisign.com/information-services/naming-services/com-net-registr...), one could look find all AAAA RRs and check which registrars registered their parent domains via the VeriSign Whois server (whois.verisign-grs.com).
