OK I looked at that, the issue is I was hitting ipv6.google.com not
www.google.com.  I guess they are only blacklisting you if you
attempt to pull AAAA records for www.google.com

Very likely I will never request to be on the whitelist, because
of the Google stipulation:

•Separate DNS servers for your IPv6 users (not shared with IPv4-only users)

which is, IMHO, asinine.  We pay a damn lot of money for our telco space
and I'm not going to waste 2U plus electricity on 2 machines to loaf
around answering the occasional IPv6 DNS query when we already have
perfectly good DNS servers.

What the hell is wrong with these assholes?  Who the hell do they think 
they are?
