Does this site have an AAAA record? If so, my DNS does not pick it up.
ipv6-test.com itself does not, and that would be 'bad' also as then when somebody has an IPv6 stack but broken connectivity they would not be able to reach that site.
From the oh so helpful FAQ @ http://test-ipv6.com/faq.html
8<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Why is this web site reachable via IPv4 only? You're right, there are no AAAA records, intentionally. A percentage of users are unable to browse sites that are dual-stack. If the users can't connect, then they can't be told they have a problem. This is a big problem facing content providers today; of which, I work at one for my $dayjob. As such, the main test page requires IPv4 (either native or translated). At some point, when the percentage of "broken" users has gone significantly down, I'll consider making test-ipv6.com dual-stack.. Q: How do I test my IPv6-only host If you ask that question, chances are you don't need this site. However, if you really want to, visit http://aaaa.test-ipv6.com with your IPv6-only host. ------------------------------------------------------------------------->8 Greets, Jeroen
