As most modern clients do Happy Eyeballs, you could just null route the destination prefixes and see all clients fall back to IPv6. But it is rather evil to do that especially at an ISP level. Could have done that for SixXS and give people working stuff that way, but that would not have actually resolved the problem, just hidden it. If you expect that they have outages that they cannot quickly see or not, then you should also expect a blacklist like to be broken or not properly update. Hence, better to see the problems and to alert the folks so that they can fix these issues properly (though Google is now just hacking around with MSS clamping...). They typically do not have these issues, they just did not notice it this time around and thus it took a while for them to wake up (timezones :) figure out what it is and fix the issue. I am fairly confident though that Google is now monitoring their stuff correctly. Lots of good folks there, stuff breaks, they fix it. Greets, Jeroen
