yes, but the folks that provide me an abstraction layer for DNS, do
not have this option. Neither NS record in the domain, nor IPv6 for
the nameserver...

They are otherwise are pretty decent, so the orthogonality of their
response when I asked about IPv6 is not yet a showstopper :-)

Actually - I pinged Steve and he will help - many thanks again!

Thanks!

There're quite a few cool tools that I've seen around.

Wonder - is there somewhere an IPv6-related wiki which could hold a
page being the directory of those ?

1) for the tool users to know what they can play with
2) for the tool developers to know which kinds of tools exist - so
they could either use or team up with each other.

Cool :-)

My plan is to reset the db every month or so, so one can have a
ballpark impression of what's the state of affairs "now".
