Re: [dns-wg] "adding IPv6 glue to root zone" document

Nice!
I have two follow-up questions:
(1) Some DNS servers have added AAAA for their servers. If they run
slave servers for some TLD's, those TLD's "suddenly" have AAAA records
for one of their nameservers. Maybe these cases are the real world
"experiments" we should look closely at? Have we heard any complaints?
I am especially thinking of ns.ripe.net which have one A and one AAAA
record.
(2) In Sweden we are discussing adding AAAA to the zone, and have also
made some studies (not run by me, I am a passive participant in the
practical tests). We have tested things like possible problems resolver
libraries have to send queries to a nameserver IF the nameserver have
both A and AAAA records, the resolver have Ipv6 enabled, but not IPv6
connectivity to the nameserver. Will the resolver fall back to IPv4
transport? It should, and what we have found so far is that it does.
I hope we can have some data before the next RIPE meeting.
Has anyone else looked at potential problems like this?

At RIPE 46 we presented measurements about the effects of adding
IPv6 glue to the root zone.
As promised, we made more measurements and have written a document:
