[arin-discuss] IPv6-only website

[johnb at infinitie.net]

Hey all.

New to this forum. I am curious. We have our ipv6 allocation and really want to push ipv6 but most of our upstreams aren't supporting it.

We want to be ready when ipv4 runs out but don't really have a way of announcing these ips successfully.

What do you recommend?

Sincerely,

Hard to troubleshoot from afar.  My guess would be that perhaps:

1.	Your nameservers for that zone are IPv6 only, not just the web site.
	(nothing wrong with this)

2.	Their resolver is not ready for an IPv6-only nameserver.
	It's like XP... it'll get a quad-A, but, it won't get anything over IPv6.

I suggest contacting the site administrators and asking them
exactly the question you have above:

"Why don't my perfectly valid AAAA records for onlyv6.com show up on
your site?"
