I know this and I punched appropriate holes in my filter, so at least
for me this is not relevant: I can ping them, but Y still replies with
SERVFAIL to queries for "ip6.int NS" or even "e.f.f.3.ip6.int NS".

I'm not sure who is to blame here, but RIPE happily delegated me
8.1.4.1.1.0.0.2.ip6.int without actually having the parent zone
delegated to them. I opened a ticket, but the hostmaster did not really
look familiar with DNS issues and I am still waiting.

(I suppose that the lame delegation is to stop the flood of queries, but
why force other servers to hit the root for "noserver."?)
