Starting this afternoon our monitoring system recorded several 5 to 15 minute outages accessing some IPv6-enabled Akamai-delivered sites. In each case, where I could catch the problem while it happened, I could not resolve the AAAA to an IPv6 address. We and our upstream provider have over 10 servers of different flavors, and they are all exhibiting this issue, though not Google or OpenDNS' servers. Just two examples are below, but in each case, I get a CNAME back, but it doesn't show an IPv6 address. And also five from https://www.digwebinterface.com/?type=SOA&colorize=on&useresolver=8.8.4.4&ns =all&nameservers. And also here: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#AAAA/www.apple.com and here http://www.preshweb.co.uk/cgi-bin/dns-propagation-tracker.pl?domain=www.appl e.com&type=AAAA&serversmode=random&servers=&nsdomain= Anyone else seeing the same? I emailed Akamai's tix address, but have not gotten anything back other than the auto-responder.
