Which just broke the cdn network.  I needed to stop talking to the
cdn's DNS servers over IPv6 to get a Australian server returned which
could then deliver me the web content.

	server 2606:2800:1::5 { bogus yes; };
	server 2606:2800:1::6 { bogus yes; };

If I talked to them over IPv6 they think I'm in the US.  With proper
planning the ABS could have required that all returned addresses
be based in Australia.
