+1 here.  Coming from CANARIE-assigned address space the site is 
unreachable.  I suspect that global transit routes are being advertised to 
some research networks but the traffic is getting tanked.  For example, 
security.debian.org resolves to 2001:4f8:8:36::6, but can't reach it:

stats 1216# traceroute6 2001:4f8:8:36::6

It might, but CANARIE have identified the problem elsewhere but can't seem 
to pinpoint precisely where.
