    Can I get a check please, can anyone reach NET 1 and Agency BBS via

    2001:470:d:3a4::200

    Thanks guys :)

    I think we're making progress now, if this pans out OK (and I think it will) I'll update IPv6 DNS records soon.

    This may well not end up being the final address used as I hope to move from a tunnel to a native IPv6 address in the coming weeks, but it's a start for now.

    /me recovers from the 2001:470 induced triggering... lol. Their outright stupid approach to the internet has cost me, and many other network engineers, a lot of time over the years (to the point that most simply filter their prefixes outright on anything except transit services).

    That said, I really should get my IPv6 working again - it's there, I just need to turn it on, but I need to build a decent set of IPv6 firewalling rules before I do that :-)

    Native for the win :-)

    Well this should not be a total surprise to you as I did signal changes both in this echo and also over in the peering admin newsgroup. But yeah, DNS updated now that I have a working IPv6 and things should be working OK again now/
