There's one fairly close to home:

dotat.at.                  1h IN AAAA 2001:ba8:1e3::
v6.chiark.greenend.org.uk. 1h IN AAAA 2001:ba8:1e3::

ISTR on IPv6 day there was a tier 1 provider which put its web server on
the bottom address of an IPv6 /8 or shorter, but I am failing to remind
myself of the details.
