==> AFNIC (French Registry) has been running an official IPv6-capable name server (ns3.nic.fr) for fr zone (also secondary for a dozzen of other TLDs) since November 2001. AFNIC has been officially making AAA-glue-aware-domain-name-delegations since 1st October 2003 (see the Press-Release http://www.afnic.fr/nouvelles/2003/press-release-afnic-ipv6.pdf, announcement relayed by the IPv6 Task Force mailing-list).

FR zone (it is a European for instance) has been connected to rs.net (formerly OTDR) for more than one year now. Both ns[12].dnssec.nic.fr (which are authoritative for FR zone in rs.net testbed) support both IPv4 and IPv6 transport... -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
