The real problem is DNS deployment in v6. v4 has 11 (14 by June) of our servers, spread world-wide; I'd like to do the same with v6 servers, but I simply can't.
Every f***ing registry on the planet has the special assignment policy (with very strict rules, mind you), except for the one they always send me back to ("sorry, not our business, you're in the RIPE region").
Well, there are more than a hundred TLDs and if they all want 11 IPv6 prefixes that would inflate the v6 table by more than 150%. I think a reasonable proposal from a good portion of the TLD community would go a long way, though.
Of course the underlying question returns to "how to do IPv6 multihoming for A Special End Site".
Everyone thinks they're special. That's how you get large routing tables. (It's not _that_ long ago that the root servers got their addresses from the organizations that hosted them.)
Is everybody busy waiting for the IETF v6-multihoming group to come to a conclusion?
In that case you won't have to wait much longer as this is going to happen within a few weeks. However, the multi6 mechanisms (that still have to be developed) aren't very suitable for multihoming DNS service.
