Google and IPv6

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Hi,

berni at pest:~$ host ipv6.google.com
ipv6.google.com is an alias for ipv6.l.google.com.
ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:0:1001::68
ipv6.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2001:4860:0:2001::68

seems to work well from most places with a few exceptions (IETF-71 for 
example at the moment). If you have issues other than that a detailled 
report to noc-at-google.com would be a good idea. One IP address seems 
to be in Europe, one in US, so think of that when you do 
dicksize^Wlatency wars with your competitor.

If you want to have your Firefox searchbar hit the new host search for a 
file named searchplugins/google.xml and replace www.google.com with 
ipv6.google.com . You can even replace the other hostname (suggestquery 
or so) with ipv6.google.com and it works, but I'm not sure whether it is 
supposed to be used for that feature.
	
All thanks to Google, and we're of course eagerly waiting for the next 
service to be turned up in IPv6 :-)
