The root zone is already available via IPv6, many TLDs also support IPv6. Some SLDs do. Providing DNS services via IPv6 (too) is usually next to trivial. > No, v6-connected stub resolvers will use their recursive resolve, which > then, in turn, will use IPv4. There are many persons operating their own recursor exactly on the same box or at least with exactly the same connectivity their stub resolver has. Afaik, that is neither a discouraged nor an uncommon scenario. Of course it becomes discouraged if most services would keep DNS on IPv4 only - which they hopefully will not. -Christian Franke _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
