I ran across this link a while back, it shows, of the top 100k
websites (according to Alexa), which ones are IPv6 enabled:

rue

And 1.5% of AAAA lookups, in the Alexa top 1000000, fail as the SOA
is in the wrong section or the wrong SOA is returned or timeout or
return NXDOMAIN when A returns a answer.  GLB vendors have a lot
to answer for as almost all of these errors involve a GLB being
installed.  Either their products are broken or their documentation
is so poor that people can't configure their boxes properly.

Hey, maybe all we need is an analysis site which says "warning: your
ipv6 is broken!".  And give reasons ... point out misconfiguration
like your examples above, regardless of whether it's dns or global
load balancers.  We'll see v6 adoption skyrocket overnight.  ;)
