It is really nice that folks where able to put AAAA records on their websites for only 24 hours, but they forgot to put in the glue on their nameservers.

As such, for the folks testing IPv6-only, a lot of sites will fail unless they use a recursor that does the IPv4 for them.

In fact. Although a website of mine worked flawlessly in a dual-stack but it did NOT in an IPv6-only environment. Unfortunately, the problem has to be fixed in the DNS provider, which though supporting AAAA records was enough to "support IPv6". dig -6 +trace is our friend here. -- Octavio.
