FYI: DNSOPS presentation

[Ed Jankiewicz <edward.jankiewicz@sri.com>]

Probably no one on either of the IPv6 lists attended the DNSOPS WG 
meeting in Anaheim, since it was at the same time as 6man.

Presentation by Yahoo! of a proposal to "do an ugly hack on DNS" to work 
around an issue with "broken OSes" that send out AAAA requests when they 
have no intention/ability to actually use an IPv6 address.  Google 
experience is that a small percentage of their users would lose 
connectivity because of this, if google.com serves both IPv6 and IPv4 
addresses.  I can't recall if this particular issue has been discussed 
here, but either way anyone with an interest should probably pop 
comments over to the DSNOPS WG list.

Also FYI - this has gotten press coverage, not necessarily accurately 
characterizing the problem or proposed solution
