Dear Tomasz Klicki,

As you may know I work for Google in Zurich. Google has launched a project
called 'Google over IPv6', and I have configued the Google DNS servers to
accept queries also for SixXS users. I would like to share with you the
details, and invite you to also become a tester of Google's IPv6 services!
	
This DNS Cache Service is available only to users of SixXS address space.
We are running (powerdns) recursor jobs on some of the PoPs. They allow
access to all IPv6 netblocks of SixXS, both tunnel space as well as routed
(subnet) delegations.

The Recursive DNS Caches can be found at:
- nscache.eu.sixxs.net
- nscache.us.sixxs.net
- nscache.ap.sixxs.net

To set up your system to use this service, add one or more IPv6 addresses
of the resolvers to /etc/resolv.conf. You can look them up by typing:
$ dig AAAA nscache.XX.sixxs.net
$ host -t AAAA nscache.XX.sixxs.net
(for appropriate values of XX).

For latency reasons it's important to add the resolver of your continent.
European users use eu, North American users use us and Asia Pacific users
use ap (sorry, only one resolver there).

Note: If you are an AICCU user, please keep in mind that in order for the
client to set up your tunnel, it will have to do a DNS lookup for
tic.sixxs.net at startup. Therefor, we recommend the use of our resolvers
only if you have a statically configured tunnel.

As a cool example, consider this query:
$ dig  @nscache.eu.sixxs.net AAAA www.google.com

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> @nscache.eu.sixxs.net AAAA www.google.com
; (6 servers found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 51932
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.google.com.		438162	IN	CNAME	www.l.google.com.
www.l.google.com.	243	IN	AAAA	2001:4860:a003::68

If you have any questions, freel free to contact the SixXS staff. Please
note
that the SixXS staff should be the first point of contact for any
trouble with
the resolvers. If you have difficulty accessing the nameservers, please
open a
ticket on the forum, or mail info w sixxs.net. If your internet experience is
totally awesome, including the Google properties, you may want to drop
them a
note at google-ipv6 w google.com, to thank them for the great opportunity that
allows SixXS users to test-drive their services using IPv6.
