And what if NetSol is your registrar that needs to add the glue!?

Indeed, welcome to the 72 hour+++ phone loop with clueless folks who 
don't understand what you are talking about.

Apparently, around 2003 somewhere there was clueful and when you mailed 
dnssupport at networksolutions.com they could add the relevant entries 
manually. Last couple of times I tried that though, the person who 
answered clearly didn't understand the concept of glue, let alone AAAA's 
or what IPv6 or even IP remotely was...

As the roots will have AAAA glue starting next month, but for .org it is 
apparently impossible to get it added though, I am not going to spend 
time to get through to them though. We can only pray that they finally 
start getting a clue somehow and add it to their webinterface so that we 
don't have to go through it manually.

The real solution seems to be: swapping to Enom.

Greets,
  Jeroen
