 yes, I'll get it updated.  it might be worthwhile noting that there is
 ipv6 support in rwhois.  I know several registries have been working on
 this topic for a while and folks ought to see the results of these efforts
 in the next few months.
 it is also true that the v6 root testbed has been around for about 3 years
 and there is some hope that native v6 support will be added to the production
 root system RSN.






Somewhat on the topic but going into future instead of the past...

I'm wondering if anyone started working on dns host registration system 
for ipv6 and whois support for this. It seems that currently all ipv6 dns 
comes from existing domains that are setup with ipv4 and there is no root 
ipv6 dns servers. Am I right? Are we planning to working on it anytime soon?

And yes - I'v read http://www.isi.edu/~bmanning/v6DNS.html but it seems 
little out of date and does not mention A6 records. Bill, will you be 
updating the page?

Yea, apparently in January Verisign changed their long standing policy of
allowing only one name server to be registered per IP Address.  To
confuse matters even more, I don't think all of the registrars support
this, and I have not seen anything official from ICANN (not that
anyone cares what ICANN thinks).
