I dont think ISOC dashboard is updating any more. Google is no longer
advertising AAAA but dashboard still shows green and TTLs were short on
those records.

So if you are using a Netscaler with SLB-PT (IPv6 VIP balancing to

this fixed.

And this is EXACTLY why we needed World IPv6 Day.

Agreed, right on the money !!

Traffic stats may not say a lot yet due to tunnels and lack of native
IPv6 connectivity but finding this type of bugs is a major reason to
do live tests, even if the test fails.

Well, we are still attempting to recreate the problem.  It isn't
something as simple as someone coming in over a tunnel with a small
MTU with a larger advertised MSS.  There is some "magic" that must
happen to actually put the unit in this state.  We ran for 9 hours
before and 9 hours after the hiccup without any problems.

So it is going to take a while before we are ready to test this again
live.  The sooner I can recreate the problem, the better, though.
