Dear James, Thank you for testing IPv6 on your end.
1) Domain names with AAAA records Today I tested IPv6 connectivity to <www.fsf.org> and <www.gnu.org> from my end, and I am happy to report that `traceroute6' now succeeds. Your site is eleven (11) hops from mine. When I wrote my last e-mail, traceroute6 would list the first 10 hops, then give `* * *' until the 30th hop, and finally give up. Today I replicated your test with `curl -v6'. Browsing works. All is copacetic. Thank you very much for fixing this. 2) Domains names without AAAA records I would very much appreciate having AAAA records for the following domain names: <savannah.gnu.org>, <download.savannah.gnu.org>, <savannah.nongnu.org>, and <download.savannah.nongnu.org>. These are the FSF sites that I visit the most.
