indeed. part of the reply i got is utterly amazing! quote from that
reply (not from you) is as follows:
> Before we can make the IPv6 address addition for this name server

> technical contacts for each TLD).
[ aside from s/21/23/ ]
i'll bet you one really nice dinner that the icann and commerce
political process to fix this will actually complete before you can get
email back from all admin and tech pocs from 23 cctlds.
and please tell me why any of the tech and admin pocs of these cctlds
should give a <bleep> what my server's actual ip address is. isn't the
dns specifically supposed to provide the level of indirection to obviate
this?
i hope they pay you a lot.
