like freebsd.org, netbsd.org, isc.org, and a bunch of the other stuff ISC hosts. (kernel.org has been here for a while, but has not asked us for IPv6 connectivity for pub.kernel.org yet.)
there is no native support for aggregation or renumbering in IPv6. it's basically just IPv4 with more bits. all the fancy stuff promised in the original IPv6 goal documents from IETF had to be jettisoned to make the 10-year schedule achievable.
apple's got a very fine product. "product" being the operative word -- it's the result of design and manufacture. good design and adequate manufacture, in this case, but still a "product". i don't want to "consume" a "product" for my digital environment -- no matter how well designed or implemented. i want to be part of the team that designs and manufactures it. i want to be able to offer my own design DNA, and if that DNA competes well, i want the world to be able to adopt my ideas.
granted, i'm in the minority. if we add up all those who want to control their own digital destiny, and those who hate monopolies, and those who like to hack their environment, it'll still be a vanishingly small, and shrinking, minority of the general population who "just wants to get work done."
Which BIND? Windows DNS is probably more secure than BIND8 or BIND4. However, you shouldn't be running any of those. If you have any choice of DNS software, then you ought to consider BIND9 (of which 9.4.1 is the latest, and 9.4.2 and 9.5.0 are beginning a release process). But do not tar all versions of BIND with a single brush. They weren't created equal, and they're not equal now. (Paul Vixie, ISC)
Cogent's sells bandwidth for cheap... too cheap to actually make any money at it, and now the house of cards is folding.
i wonder: have you seen cogent's books? other than a bailout from cisco a few years ago, i don't think they have much in the way of cash to dump transit at below-cost. if you know otherwise, please do tell. if you don't, please don't sound so certain about it.

"dig netbsd.org" looks for A RR's. you want "dig www.netbsd.org aaaa".
i can't speak for apple or microsoft's IPv6 availability since we don't host them at ISC.

does anybody think microsoft would have "backed down" without the pressure from that third party patch for WMF?
It's very hard to understand why a non-Linux PDA is of any interest to this crowd. My Nokia 770 came in last week.
