• Google over IPv6 Revised

    by  • 2nd April 2009 • Uncategorized

    Last time I wrote about experimenting with forcing www.google.com to run over IPv6.

    After some use I’ve notice that it’s breaking a lot of stuff, including YouTube and feeds from ArsTechnica.

    I’ve looked a bit dipper and it looks like only www.l.google.com has IPv6 working. To make things easier, I’ve dropped whole google.com and google.co.uk zones. Instead I’ve created a zone for www.l.google.com only.

    zone "www.l.google.com" IN {
    type master;
    file "pri/db.www.l.google.com";
    notify no;
    };

    Which contains :

    $TTL    86400
    @       IN      SOA     ns1.yllq.net. seeder.mobygeek.net. (
    2009040101      ; Serial
    604800         ; Refresh
    86400         ; Retry
    2419200         ; Expire
    86400 )       ; Negative Cache TTL
    ;
    @    IN    NS    ns1.yllq.net.
    @     IN AAAA 2001:4860:a003::68
    *     IN AAAA 2001:4860:a003::68

    Just to make sure 😉

    All what can, runs via IPv6 , everything else is going via IPv4.
