I've run into glitches in the past as such as well... Note that I use
.com domains... at the time I registered them, CIRA could not provide v6
glue, and the .ca registrar I've been using since the late 90s doesn't
have the capabilities either. Otherwise, it would have been
onlyv6.ca...hmmm...wait...

my .coms are up for renewal on May 5... clickety-click... onlyv6.ca, done!

Unfortunately, Marc has ipv6canada.ca though, but no glue ;)
