Top of the page it says (now, may have been added) "Note: This top level web page has been setup to test IPv6 capabilities and to participate in World IPv6 Day on June 8, 2011. This IPv6 web page will be disabled after the end of World IPv6 Day. Links on this page do not work. This is a copy of the NIST website, www.nist.gov, and is only reachable using the IPv6 network protocol. To access the entire NIST website, you must use the IPv4 network protocol."
Yeah, at least they said what they did, but they seem to have a misunderstanding of how dual-stack clients will use the www.nist.gov AAAA record. The result is that they've broken access to their content.

Oh yes. I fail to see the logic and usefulness of doing that to a web site but it is a scientific experiment :-) Cheers Neil. -- Neil Long, Team Cymru http://www.cymru.com | +1 630 230 5422 | neil@cymru.com
