VeriSign will add support for accessing the com/net zones using IPv6 transport on October 19, 2004. On that day, AAAA records for a.gtld-servers.net and b.gtld-servers.net will be added to the root and gtld-servers.net zones.
We do not anticipate any problems resulting from this change, but because these zones are widely used and closely watched, we want to let the Internet community know about the changes in advance.
A few people have asked me privately to publish the IPv6 addresses ahead of time for reachability testing purposes, so here they are: 2001:503:a83e::2:30 (a.gtld-servers.net) 2001:503:231d::2:30 (b.gtld-servers.net) We would welcome opportunities for IPv6 tunnels to further improve our connectivity. Please contact ipv6-peering@verisign.com if you're interested. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Larson <mlarson@verisign.com> VeriSign Naming and Directory Services
