[ipv6-wg at ripe.net] Glueing to the "."...

Hi,

As far as i know, the possibility of having AAAA glue records on the root 
zone was a long and hard quest...

Now that we have it for some time, is it important to ask what is being 
done with this possibility???

Well, i do think YES... and by reading the DNS root zone what i can see
is:

- 42 ccTLDs glued
- 4 gTLDs glued (.com, .int, .aeros, .net)
- only 35 different servers/names with AAAAs on the root zone
  (NS0.JA.NET has 2!)
- most of the TLDs supported by nameservers with AAAAs has only one or 
two.


Should we expect an improvement in these numbers soon? :-)

Comments...?
