Re: Are there any ipv6 root servers?

[Bill Manning <bmanning@ISI.EDU>]

 that is correct.  if you want to explore native IPv6 resolution, you
 should look at the testbed.  outputs from the testbed are used as input
 to the ICANN process so tht eventually we might see IPv6 support in the
 root.


% Thanks Bill,  Paul,
% 
% I have another question.
% 
% Some gTLDs and ccTLDs have IPv6 DNS now. While current root zone
% doesn't contain IPv6 referral (glue for 'AAAA') for these TLD name servers.
% 
% Does this mean TLD IPv6 servers will not be asked in current DNS resolution,
% until their IPv6 addresses are added in root zone file?
% Thanks!
