This guy is insane. (60 second TTL for NS records anyone?)

He says his server is working correctly, but I get:

% dig @charon.mpw.net AAAA gwise.ci.mil.wi.us

; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> @charon.mpw.net AAAA gwise.ci.mil.wi.us
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Now if there were any substance to his claim that people should use  
AAAA synthesis, I should be able to get an A6 record from him as  
input for my synthesizing efforts, but guess what:

% dig @charon.mpw.net A6 gwise.ci.mil.wi.us

; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> @charon.mpw.net A6 gwise.ci.mil.wi.us
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

You may want to point him to RFC 3596, if you want to bother talking  
to him again.

Lesson for the IETF: this is what happens when you keep changing  
stuff on people.
