AAAA records to be added for root servers
apologies for cross-posting... On 4 February 2008, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of the four root servers whose operators have requested it. A technical analysis of inserting IPv6 records into the root has been done by a joint working group of ICANN's Root Server System Advisory Committee and Security and Stability Advisory Committee, a report of which can be found at http://www.icann.org/committees/security/ sac018.pdf. Network operators should take whatever steps they feel appropriate to prepare for the inclusion of AAAA records in response to root queries. More information will be posted to the IANA web site during January. Regards, Barbara Roseman IANA General OperationsManager ICANN

perhaps your answer can be found in the first line of Barbaras message. let me quote it: "> On 4 February 2008, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses
of the four root servers whose operators have requested it. "
.... for the four root servers whose operators have REQUESTED it. (emphasis added) e.g. the other operators have not requested AAAA records be added for their servers. --bill On Sun, Jan 06, 2008 at 09:18:41PM -0800, Jeffrey A. Williams wrote:
