Gandi supports IPv6 glue records for .name
Submitted by CAPSLOCK2000 on 31 August, 2009 - 15:29I've finally gotten IPv6 glue records for my domain. If I can trust Hurricane Electric's
IPv6 progress report I'm the first one who has IPv6 glue records in the .name zone.
I've been trying to get IPv6 glue records for some time, but it's not easy for a .name domain if your registrar doesn't support it.
There is a trick where you use another registrar just to push the glue records, but .name is quite rare and I have not found anyone that would provide that service to me at a reasonable price.
Gandi promised a solution a while ago, but so far it didn't work for me, but now it does. Just register your DNS servers with them and add them to your domain, just like you would do with IPv4. There is one caveat; you can register only 1 IP adress per hostname. That means that you will need to add seperate records for IPv4 and IPv6. That shouldn't be problem for anyone though.
update: I celebrated to early. Even though the interface accepted the request the ipv6 glue records are not actually published. I've mailed Verisign and they promised that support for the .name domain would be re-enabled on November 7. I'm looking forward to it.
update2: It works now! http://www.gielen.name/IPv6 glue for NAME
