I found an ISP which in 2008 actively 'breaks' IPv6. A Dutch ISP. Observe:host mail.home.nl mail.home.nl is an alias for mail.mars.home.nl. mail.mars.home.nl has address 213.51.146.46 Host mail.mars.home.nl not found: 2(SERVFAIL) Host mail.mars.home.nl not found: 2(SERVFAIL)The SERVFAIL is in reaction to the AAAA query that a modern implementation of host does. Which is the wrong answer. In some cases this could be cached as 'does not exist at all' which would lead to end-users thinking Enabling IPv6 breaks stuff. No, stupid software giving wrong answers breaks stuff.AthomeZiggo, please get with the program, pay attention to what is happening on the Internet and un-break your nameserver.
