RIPE NCC's DNS server available in IPv6

 ok, so the testbed has this server listed for slave service.
 I would ask the RIPE folks to do the following:

 add this aaaa record to the ripe.net zone that they manage.
 contact the administrators of the testbed .NET zone (if you need a pointer...)
 and have the testbed .NET zone include this glue as well


...  for example:

[root at 66 named]# dig uy. ns any @::1
;; Warning, extra type option

; <<>> DiG 9.3.0s20021115 <<>> uy. ns any @::1
;; global options:  printcmd

% Hello,

% 
% As the SOA record for ripe.net., the glue record for ns.ripe.net. on
