Anyone have visibility on Level 3 IPv6 routing? I'm unable to reach http://fedoraproject.org by their primary and ended up having to spoof a secondary in local DNS. Note that this is on HughesNet; multiple levels of support have been clueless or stumped. For the curious: [darton@dkw-vostro ~]$ dig -6 @google-public-dns-a.google.com -t aaaa www.fedoraproject.org ; <<>> DiG 9.9.2-P1-RedHat-9.9.2-3.P1.fc17 <<>> -6 @ google-public-dns-a.google.com -t aaaa www.fedoraproject.org ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 21521 ;; flags: qr rd ra ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.fedoraproject.org.
