I meant to ask this at a nanog or this IETF... why don't some of the larger content providers (google, msn, yahoo, to name 3 examples) put AAAA records in for their maint content pieces? why don't they get v6 connectivity from their providers (that offer such services) ? There are starting to be more and more folks with v6 connectivity... it'd be interesting as a way to drive usage on v6, eh?
(I work for a not-quite-as-large content player. These are my own opinions, but this is what I'd tell my empolyer if they asked.) - We can't get provider-independent IPv6 space (without pretending to be a service provider.) - None of our transit providers appear to provide IPv6 transit. Or if they do, they keep it pretty quiet. (Does UUNET?) - Most of our content is delivered via load balancer hardware that would also need to support IPv6. Last time I checked, it didn't. - There are (perceived to be) more important things to spend our limited resources on. Steve
