I've an alpha version of bicycle with slightly differently-shaped wheels here:

http://testv6.stdio.be/

the v6-only DNS server test always succeeds so far - because I do not
have one readily available yet.

It's use is that you include a <img> tag into the webpage, the server
takes a few 302 redirects before finally sending the 1x1 transparent
gif (if the client makes it this far).

The original referer is sha1-hashed and used as a key to record where
we "lost" the clients.

And afterwards it can draw a nice diagram - per referer. So one can
see the results tailored to their specific audience.

Any comments are likewise very welcome - I made it specifically so
others could test.

Not sure if I would have been better off with the <iframe> rather than
<img> - again any wisdom on that is also welcome.

As well, if you know other tools for v6 testing, I'd be happy to
cross-link them from that page.

cheers,
