So the whole delegation thing is broken. The int. TLD servers delegate ip6.int to imag.imag.fr which feels it self authoritative, but isn't in the NS RRset of the ip6.int zone. And ip6.int is delegated to munnari.oz.au which doesn't know about this (anymore).
so... this was apparently enough to get the attention it deserved. the long postponed migration from imag.imag.fr. to ns3.nic.fr. is now "done" and imag.imag.fr. has been removed from the NS list in the INT zone. and munnari.oz.au has been removed. - more cleanup in the next week or two.
Well, two weeks down the road and things got even worse: NS list summary for ip6.int. from parent (int.) servers == flag.ep.net. ns3.nic.fr. y.ip6.int. == z.ip6.int. $ dig @flag.ep.net. int. SOA +norec | fgrep status: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 9740 $ dig @ns3.nic.fr int.

SOA +norec | fgrep status: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 17872 $ dig @z.ip6.int int. SOA +norec ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached So we have 3 out of 4 servers totally broken. Looks like the importance of ip6.int is way overstated by some folks. Regards, Daniel
