Yes, www.v6.facebook.com has been deprecated. The dual-stacked www.facebook.com (via World IPv6 Launch) is the way to go, until we run out of addresses again. Thanks and cheers Donn ---------- Forwarded message ----------

www.v6.facebook.com was the official pre-www AAAA record host. I recall a www.ipv6.facebook being added as a redirect because there seemed to be confusion around which one it was.
Regardless, to answer the original question, yes www.v6.facebook.com has been official deprecated for almost 2 years now as it was only meant as a test platform for the inevitable www.facebook.com AAAA.
If you can not get to www.facebook on v6, please work with your ISP to find out why. When I left there, it was still a whitelisting design for known good networks, but I believe that was done away with after this years ipv6 day.

As I recall, the primary IPv6-only FQDN was (and still is) www.v6.facebook.com . I honestly never noticed that they added an AAAA for www.ipv6.facebook.com .
Hardly scientific, but
seems to support my memory to some degree.
