According to Google finally indexing the IPv6 internet - Fix6 the first sightings have been done of a googlebot with an IPv6 address. My IPv6-reachable websites haven't been blessed by a visit from the IPv6 googlebot yet. What will googlebot do when I post a link to http://[2001:980:14ca:42::18] ?

And on a different note about google: last year I noticed googledns did not give out AAAA records for www.google.com. I retested it and found it (now?) depends on where you ask. At a place not in the google IPv6 program:

koos@kolham:~$ dig +short @8.8.8.8 www.google.com aaaa
www.l.google.com.
koos@kolham:~$ dig +short @8.8.4.4 www.google.com aaaa
www.l.google.com.
koos@kolham:~$ 

And at a place in the google IPv6 program:

koos@greenblatt:~$ dig +short @8.8.8.8 www.google.com aaaa
www.l.google.com.
2a00:1450:8001::63
koos@greenblatt:~$ dig +short @8.8.4.4 www.google.com aaaa
www.l.google.com.
2a00:1450:8001::63
koos@greenblatt:~$ 

Yes, that first place needs to turn their plans about IPv6 into doing something with it.
