[AusNOG] Request: Contact for DEEWR in regards to IPv6 access to https://ecsn.gov.au/ Website

Thanks Mark

 ><http://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/#augov> would suggest that they are 
lagging behind their USA counterparts.

Great to see an even more advanced implementation of IPv6. There's 
always more work to be done!

 ><http://www.mrp.net/ipv6_survey/diagnostics/deewr.gov.au.html> also 
shows that <htttp://www.deewr.gov.au> has an IPv6 address but it 
redirects to <http://deewr.gov.au> which doesn't.

Sounds like a poor man's attempt at a reverse proxy 
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92FwtiBb3_s).

This is a pity because there are a bunch of free reverse proxy services 
that achieve just what they apparently attempted 
(http://www.sixxs.net/tools/gateway/ , 
http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cloudflares-automatic-ipv6-gatewa 
, http://instant6.com). They do so in a very clean trouble free manner - 
some more so than others.

 >Cynics might suggest that they are faking IPv6 accessibility :-)

It's only a fake for the cynics because the attempt failed - it's the 
failure that is offensive.
