FYI:

www.zoneedit.com allows you to register IPv6 addresses. They have a web
front end, maybe the only front end, and give you up to 5 domains for free.
They may not be one of the big guys out there but they do have support.

Perhaps my understanding with the individual I spoke to in the
'advanced dns team' was not the correct way of doing things, but I mentioned
something to the effect of `if you keep getting calls to do this type of
thing
manually, you will have an incentive to automate the process, and perhaps
make it available on the web domain management tool, eh?' to which the reply
was affirmative.

I consider `getting it to work' first order of business, and `getting it to
work well' 2nd order of business.

Hopefully the powers that be will recognize that the time and energy they
will
invest in 'putting out fires' by manually inserting IPv6 records into the
gtld database and/or updating them would be spent more wisely by developing
the web frontend to just allow the customer to manage this themselves.
Being
one who understands a thing or two about web frontends, I would expect this
change to not happen overnight.  True, I've not been told `it will happen',
but
what is desired is a process to put an IPv6 address into the gtld servers
for
a nameserver.  This has been mapped out now for one registrar.  Refining the
process is left as an exercise for the respective registrars and their
customers to hash out, no?
