Netflix VPN detection - actual engineer needed

Tue Jun 7 13:55:10 UTC 2016

As I said to Netflix's tech support - if they advocate for people to turn
off IPv6 on their end, maybe Netflix should stop supporting it on their end.

It's in the air whether it's just an HE tunnel issue or an IPv6 issue at
the moment, and if their tech support is telling people to turn off IPv6,
maybe they should just instead remove their AAAA records.

(or fail back to ipv4 when v6 looks like a tunnel)
