Looking good from here! Thanks for the new toy to tinker with ;)
Definitely waiting for mail.google.com/a/yourdomain to work with IPv6
though - maybe on my Xmas Wishlist for 2009? :D
I agree with what other posters have mentioned about AAAA records not
being ready for primetime on a service like www.google.com :) Potential
reachability issues are nothing to be trivialized and in my limited
experience quad-A records have had a somewhat unpredictable effect upon
DNS resolution time / success rate / complexity.
If you can discuss at all, could you comment on how much of Google is
IPv6 connected (internally) at the moment or plans for the future?
Cheerio,
Alex
