Is Your DNS Ready for IPv6?

Despite the fact that IPv6 has been around for over 10 years, it seems
that its implementation for DNS has quite a way to go. Sure, some of
ICANN's root servers can handle the new protocol, but not all the
downstream components are ready. This was made evident in a post by
Patrick Vande Walle in "Are Domain Name Registrars Ready for IPv6?":
Now that ICANN has added IPv6 name servers for the root zone,
and that many registries have enabled IPv6 on their DNS
servers, I thought it would have been easy to update the DNS
records pointing to my domain to mention a IPv6-only DNS
server. This way, we could have native name resolution
end-to-end in IPv6. We are not there yet, it seems.
The web interface my registrar (Gandi) uses does not allow
IPv6 addresses. Their support desk informed me that they do
not yet handle IPv6 addresses in their web forms.
