[Apnic-announce] APNIC ip6.int services to end 1 June 2006

[Sanjaya <sanjaya@apnic.net>]

Dear colleagues,

APNIC will cease all ip6.int reverse delegation services at approximately 10:00
UTC+10 (00:00 UTC) on 1 June 2006.

At that time, APNIC will withdraw the delegations for the following sub-domains
under 1.0.0.2.ip6.int:

   2.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   c.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   e.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   f.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   4.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
   5.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
     8.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
     9.1.0.0.2.ip6.int
     a.1.0.0.2.ip6.int

All ip6.int delegations within these sub-domains will then cease to be
recognised by most DNS resolvers (although cached delegation information may
take some time to expire).

APNIC will back-up all whois objects associated with these sub-domains and will
continue to monitor DNS traffic during this period to review behaviour. However,
as the IETF has formally deprecated ip6.int for reverse-DNS, re-delegation is
not expected to occur.

Regards,
Sanjaya
