A few people have asked me privately to publish the IPv6 addresses
ahead of time for reachability testing purposes, so here they are:
2001:503:a83e::2:30 (a.gtld-servers.net)
2001:503:231d::2:30 (b.gtld-servers.net)
We would welcome opportunities for IPv6 tunnels to further improve our
connectivity. Please contact ipv6-peering at verisign.com if you're
interested.
Thanks,
Matt
