[6bone] moving fast

[Todd T. Fries]

Yesterday I said I got off the phone with Networks Soltuions and thought this
was another year I could not register an IPv6 dns server.

Now, I'm on hold, on and off infact, with their advanced dns team, at
the US number of 1-866-345-0330.

They are capable of putting in an IPv6 address for a dns server that
has an existing IPv4 address.  For example (as sent to the 6bone mailing
list):

	whois -h whois.internic.net dot.ep.net

Is most definately registered as a v4 and v6 dns server.

If any of you out there are wanting to register an IPv6 address with
your dns server for your domain, call the above number.  You may not
get the same person I did, so you may need some patience while you
explain to them the above information proves they can do it.

I have raised the bar one notch, however, and requested not only
ns0.fries.net and ns1.fries.net get an additional ip that happens to
be IPv6, but I've also requested that ns6.fries.net get registered
as a host with an IPv6 record _only_.

This last bit may not be everyone's desire just yet, but I like to be
forward thinking, and would like to push to have things ready when
more and more do not need to register an IPv4 address to have a
dns server.
