I now realise I should have made this even more explicit:

ns.ripe.net and ns-v6.ripe.net are the same server, and have the same IP
addresses. It's near-impossible for us to tell whether someone is
resolving ns-v6.ripe.net, and then sending queries to its addresses.

However, having two names makes our pre-delegation and provisioning
somewhat more complex, and so we wish to simplify things.

We did check that the name ns-v6.ripe.net was not listed as the target
of any NS record in any delegations or apices, to ensure that reverse
DNS resolution is not affected.
