Re: [ipv6-wg@localhost] Re: RIPE NCC's DNS server available in IPv6

[Aleksi Suhonen <]

Hello,

Quote from Carlos Friacas:
} But this raises me one more question: Does someone know if there are *any*
} AAAA (glue-)records on that/(similar) zone(s) yet?

I understand that "jp." has had IPv6 name servers for a while now.
These are slightly abbreviated for ease of reading:

CONCLUSION: Now that the ns.ripe.net contains an AAAA record, it
too is starting to seep into the TLDs that ns.ripe.net is a secondary
name server for. As was said, asking the root servers about "nl."
still doesn't give any AAAA glue records.

But why don't ns*.domain-registry.nl and auth02.ns.uu.net provide
full glue records for the name servers?
