A few people have asked me privately to publish the IPv6 addresses
ahead of time for reachability testing purposes, so here they are:

2001:503:a83e::2:30 (a.gtld-servers.net)
2001:503:231d::2:30 (b.gtld-servers.net)

We would welcome opportunities for IPv6 tunnels to further improve our
connectivity.  Please contact ipv6-peering () verisign com if you're
interested.

Thanks,

Matt
