IPv6 root and gtld dns server available

[Marc Blanchet]

Hi,
	we are making available to the IPv6 community an IPv6 root and gtld dns 
server for experimental purposes. This will enable dns resolution using 
IPv6 up to the dns root level. This server is configured to be 
authoritative for the root zone and the gtld zones.

	This service is on a best effort basis and no garantee is given. One 
should not configure its production dns service pointing to this server. It 
is offered in order to help the IPv6 community to expand the testing of a 
full IPv6 network, without any IPv4 transport or service. Viagénie has no 
intent to offer any dns root server service and will shutdown the service 
as soon as the "real" root servers will support IPv6.
	
	Information on how to use the service is available at: 
http://www.viagenie.qc.ca/en/ipv6/dnsrs/utilisation.shtml. Generic 
information is available at: 
http://www.viagenie.qc.ca/fr/nouvelles/commdepresse/dnsrs_200011.shtml.

	This service is partly funded by Canarie and is located on the CA*net3 
network.

Regards, Marc.
