.org gets to 100%
Yesterday, the .org domain had a milestone: 100% of their namservers are IPv6-enabled. For several months, they had 80-some percent of their servers done, but last night, they v6-enabled the last one. .org is part of a small club of domains which have v6-enabled all of their nameservers:
- .am (Armenia)
- .asia
- .bz (Belize)
- .gi (Gibraltar)
- .hn (Honduras)
- .info
- .lr (Liberia)
- .mobi
- .org
- .tz (Tanzania)
- .vc (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)
These domains are well ahead of the other popular domains. Verisign publishes a quarterly report on the domain name registration business. Here are the most popular domains from their December 2008 report:
How do they stack up for IPv6 support?
| Domain | Percentage of nameservers with IPv6 glue |
| .com | 15% |
| .de (Germany) | 33% |
| .net | 15% |
| .uk (United Kingdom) | 36% |
| .cn (China) | 33% |
| .org | 100% |
| 100% | |
| .eu (European Union) | 20% |
| .biz | 25% |
| .name | 0% |
What about the "Other ccTLD" area? According to the report, here are the top ten ccTLDs (Country Code top-level domain):
| Rank | Domain | Percentage of nameservers with IPv6 glue |
| 1 | .cn (China) | 33% |
| 2 | .de (Germany) | 33% |
| 3 | .uk (United Kingdom) | 36% |
| 4 | .nl (Netherlands) | 57% |
| 5 | .eu (European Union) | 20% |
| 6 | .ar (Argentina) | 13% |
| 7 | .it (Italy) | 40% |
| 8 | .br (Brazil) | 33% |
| 9 | .us (United States) | 50% |
| 10 | .au (Australia) | 50% |
So, there's been some good progress, but there's a lot more to do. I expect to see many more domains get to 100% in 2009. I have automated scripts that check these statistics nightly, and there's been good progress during the year. Perhaps I'll post a more detailed entry in the future.

From here it looks like tld2.ultradns.net still lack AAAA.
Perhaps I have a caching issue. I'm seeing this:
$ dig -t NS +short org.
a0.org.afilias-nst.info.
a2.org.afilias-nst.info.
b0.org.afilias-nst.org.
b2.org.afilias-nst.org.
c0.org.afilias-nst.info.
d0.org.afilias-nst.org.
But it appears that the current list is:
A0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO.
B0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org.
C0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO.
D0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org.
TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET.
TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET.
It seems like the root servers are caching the old tld2.ultradns.net, check with:
dig -t NS +trace org.
