Re: IPv6 Glue Records at Dotster / Domain.com
Hmm, transaction id, security code, a 21 minute hold time with GoDaddy, and two dozen Danica Patrick pictures and I am quickly realizing that this glue is going to be much more costly than the ~$8 transfer fee. -Ryan On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 1:47 AM, Lou Katz l...@metron.com wrote: On Sun, Sep 05, 2010 at 11:39:07AM -0700, Seth Mattinen wrote: On 9/5/2010 11:17, Joseph C.

We register our domains with them (Tucows/OpenSRS) and we got the entry, but you have to contact support and it is done manually. Check my domain hotze.com for proving it. I concur with this. I just finished up bolting V6 glue to a few of my domains to test and see how they handled it. They took care of it within a few hours of sending the request. What proved to be more disturbing was the response I got from an exit survey I'd filled out from a registrar I was transferring domains out from (due to lack of V6 support). I'd told them as such, and got the response that while they were, in fact, working on updating their DNS/domains handling to deal with IPv6, they *had not considered glue records to be part of that*, AND as a result of my feedback they were adding handling such to their project. This is an established registrar that I'd been dealing with for years, they're not exactly fly-by-night. I have to give them credit for admitting it wasn't something they'd considered and were adding it, but still terrible they hadn't even thought of something as basic as IPv6 DNS glue until I mentioned it. The OP in this thread said This seems a kooky reason to change registrars. At this point and time, I consider that any registrar that can't handle IPv6 to be one that's worth transferring away from and not giving any new business to, assuming one is in the process of deploying IPv6 across their infrastructure. Perhaps economic pressure will be a good enough reason for the registrars to actually get moving and make progress with better support.

IPv6 Glue Records at Dotster / Domain.com
Anyone with a contact at Doster with the ability to make things happen? Apparently they do not support v6 glue records and they have been unresponsive to my ticket. This seems a kooky reason to change registrars. The table of registrars over at sixxs who have at least some way to get v6 glue records has been getting greener and greener, but no love from Dotster. http://www.sixxs.net/faq/dns/?faq=ipv6glue -Ryan

Re: IPv6 Glue Records at Dotster / Domain.com
Righto, perhaps it's not kooky. Despite the admittedly small demand, it just seems such a trivial feature to have to jump through administrative hoops of swapping registrars for. I'll do what I need to do, but of course if there is a way to make the magic happen without the pain that is great :) -Ryan On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 1:55 PM, Seth Mattinen se...@rollernet.us wrote: On 9/4/10 6:35 AM, Ryan Shea wrote: Anyone with a contact at Doster with the ability to make things happen?
