[AusNOG] Fw: Youtube-over-IPv6

[Richard Pruss]

They are limiting who gets ipv6 responses to networks that have chatted to them and are ready to give IPv6 services.

The reason they do not just respond to any DNS request  with the v6 response is they are deeply concerned about keeping their bread and butter services running smoothly.  That said they seem to have a team which
is deeply committed to IPv6 transition and working with many SP's to make it happen smoothly.

I would suggest you chat to them.
