Wellps, we have www.ipv6experiment.com of course where the actual content site soon will point to 2001:4978:0:0:0:0:B00:B1E5 :) /me wonders how many spam/corpfirewalls etc will like that sentence, but hotels won't have much of an issue with that I guess, it's one of the reasons for their existence... > What's weird is that they don't just return a 0-record NOERROR when you > do the follow-up A query, which would be the most logical failure mode > -- they return an authoritative answer of 0.0.0.1 instead.

Argh, I can sort-of understand their way of handling it, but still, they should have fixed this by now, and their clear broken DNS is simply a real reason to avoid those hotels at all. Can somebody please sponsor a trip to any of these hotels for either two or both of the Pauls, that is Mockapetris or Vixie, and let THEM call techsupport on this!? :) At least the "eh dude, I kinda like (invented DNS|coded BIND) and I really do think I sort of know what I am talking about" discussion would be worth a "extremely priceless" rating and a good laugh for the coming years for most of the Ops community :) Remember kids: never leave home without a well known IP address where all kinds of obvious ports run your favorite tunneling mechanism :) [443 seems to be very popular for that nowadays it seems...] Long live tunnels and own infra! Greets, Jeroen -- Have broken DNS = $10 Room for a Paul = $500 Letting Paul expain DNS problem to L1 "Tech" = Priceless
