IPv6 glue in the root zone
So the other day we got the AAAA entries for some root servers in the root zone. The reports so far seems to be that nothing drastically happened. Nothing more than the normal issues with delay before fallback to IPv4 transport if a host have IPv6 configured, but not global IPv6 access. This problem was much larger when some TLD servers added IPv6 glue, so I guess most people have already learned this the hard way and because of this they where not hit now.
Updated: Pawal correctly points out that I fumbled when reposting the interesting records here in this blog. I have here updated the list to include the correct data from the root-servers.net zone.
