During the last meeting, Kurtis Lindquist asked an interesting
question. He asked if anyone had a good explanation for the amount of
requests for the now experimental type A6 Resource Record. This exact
question was asked by David Malone during the OARC meeting (july
2005) as well.
We (Nominet UK) are seeing those requests as well, and though they
seem to come from a distributed set of IP addresses, most of these
addresses run well-known resolvers that are known not to initiate
those requests, hence they're proxied on behalve of stub resolvers.
Since this remains unanswered time and time again, and these requests
for A6 types do not seem to diminish, I'm hoping that those that have
access to traffic to a busy resolver are willing to spend some cycli
on this.
If anyone is interested in doing this, or has a reasonable
explanation for these A6 queries, please let me know.
Roy
