At $$$job we run quite a bit of dual stack towards customers as an ISP (mainly PPPoE) - our own public website fails the PTB test and quite honestly we’ve never fixed it.  it works for lots of customer/visitors but breaks for others (and they fail back to IPv4) - we thought it was only external tunnel visitors but have found out otherwise… never fully understood what was going on and I keep meaning to look at it .. 

NGINX front ends load balanced via anycast … pretty standard Ubuntu 16.04LTS setup on the server side.  From what I’ve read it seems to be an ECMP related problem like what CloudFlare published a blog about …
