[AusNOG] v6 Glue

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

That seems quite par for the course with domain registrars.  Having given
up on TPP in disgust not long after they were bought out, I migrated all of
my domains to AussieHQ's domain re-seller system, and was quite happy with
that for many years.  It was a quite decent system, but it was pretty much
a given that every time I needed to add or modify V6 glue records, I'd have
to open a ticket to support. - and then wait for the first reply back from
the Level 1 guys going 'Hello, you can add glue records in the web
interface, have a nice day', and reply back, re-opening the ticket, saying
'No, I mean IPv6 Glue records - these cannot be done through your web
interface.  I need you to escalate this to Level 3 please, they have to do
it manually with the registry.'.  Then 2-3 days later it'd get sorted.

I ended up moving everything to Synergy Wholesale, whose web interface is
top notch, and has the bonus of natively supporting V6 glue entries.  (And
the couple of times I've needed to get in touch with support, they reply
within 10-15 mins with rock solid answers.)

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
