Do note that the IPv6 server of ".fr", requested in February 2003, is still not announced.
Maybe only coincidence: JPNIC = ccNSO member KRNIC = ccNSO member AFNIC = ccNSO non-member Regards Geoff

I won't dwell on politics issues. Please let me give you some technical explanations for the delay (since .fr glue was published a few hours later than .jp and .kr). The .fr glue ought to be published at the same time as .jp and .kr glue. The delay is only due to the change of ns3.nic.fr name into c.nic.fr (with th same A and AAAA RRs) in the NS list for .fr. The main reason is that ns3.nic.fr already hosts about 19 other TLDs and publishing the AAAA RR for .fr implies publishing it also for the other TLDs for consistency reasons. So, AFNIC had two choices : 1) to ask all the admin & tech contacts of all those TLDs for their agreement for AAAA publication 2) to perform that change ns3.nic.fr --> c.nic.fr on July 20th ==> The 1st choice would have taken several days (or weeks) The second choice took us less than 12 hours (including a.root-servers.net reload delay). This choice is a preparation for fr NS compression to be done soon as specified at section 6 of http://w6.nic.fr/dnsv6/resp-size.html (note that document was yet another technical one to persuade ICANN/IANA to go forward with IPv6 AAAA glue). Regards, Mohsen.

now, could you see an increase in the number of queries sent to this server via IPv6? It wasn't zero before I suppose since the AAAA RR was already present, although not as glue. -Peter

We have been gatehring statistics for DNS queries sent to ns3.nic.fr via IPv6 transport for about two years. There have been about 70 queries per minute on average during the last year. It's hard to tell now the difference because AAAA glue has just been published (for instance, we cannot see a big difference between the 20th and the 21st of July). . We will keep watching DNS traffic via IPv6 transport and give you more accurate figures if you want later. Regards, Mohsen.

Why would you have to wait for a.root-servers.net to reload? - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.3 iQA/AwUBQP+QbqarNKXTPFCVEQL3MQCg/vvoA0zJJsus3NFXtbCPoz6FYvwAn2OK dhcFHDUtXkMRmXb0bnt6R3VL =HJk1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Agreed; events have demonstrated no connection. Regards Geoff
