[6bone] Re: moving fast

Just wanted to clarify.  This will only work for certain if you have
network solutions as your registrar for the dns host registration in
question.

However, you may be able to talk your respective registrars into the
same, as apparently it is possible.

Penned by Todd T. Fries on Tue, Jul 01, 2003 at 01:24:37PM -0500, we have:
| 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.
