Will somebody please, please PLEASE let me know what magic process for
networksolutions are to get AAAA glue added, am on the 72nd hour of the
phone game where questions are bouncing between:
- What is a glue record?
and
- What is an AAAA record?
$ dig +norec AAAA @a.gtld-servers.net. dot.ep.net | grep AAAA
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> +norec AAAA @a.gtld-servers.net. dot.ep.net
;dot.ep.net. IN AAAA
dot.ep.net. 172800 IN AAAA
2001:478:6:0:230:48ff:fe22:6a29
dot.ep.net. 172800 IN AAAA
2001:478:6:0:230:48ff:fe22:6a29
$ whois -h whois.networksolutions.com ep.net | grep Record
Record expires on 13-Jun-2012.
Record created on 09-Dec-1994.

The oldest root management request IANA has in its queue is about 1
year old and is unrelated to glue policy. The oldest glue related
request (adding a AAAA to f.root-servers.net) is 10 months old and
will be processed (along with the 3 other outstanding root server
requests) on/around 4 Feb after the ICANN board mandated public
notification period.
If you have reason to believe there are older outstanding requests,
please let me know (preferably privately as I would imagine this isn't
particularly in the charter of NANOG's mailing list).
ah... a bit of digging shows that the IANA (prior to your
tenure) closed the request for unspecified reasons. I suspect
that it was due to the then unstated policy that ccTLD holders
control the glue of the nameservers publishing their data.
