Hi Serge,
thanks for your timely reply. I do have indeed sometimes a bit of a hard time of understanding who's a Registrar and who's a Registry. But it doesn't really matter, as easyname.com simply blamed you instead of taking responsibility for their mistakes.
They do in fact have AAAA entries and IPv6 connectivity to their first nameserver (ns1.easyname.com), but if you try to look up anythin using that IPv6 address, it won't work. (see my reply to the list) I guess their DNS server is not listening on the IPv6 address.
I don't know why that should affect the ability of putting glue entries into your system though? They should be out of the loop once that happens, shouldn't they?
Cheers,
Mat

Hi Mattia
I think you're confusing Registries with Registrars. There is indeed only one Registry, SWITCH.
But there are many Registrars (See [1] for the officially recognized ones).
SWITCH accepts IPv6 only Nameservers (we do IPv6 since many years) and all interfaces accept the respective commands.
To me it seems that your Registrar cannot handle IPv6 properly.
Best regards Serge

Hi all,
today I've got the following e-mail:
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
die Änderung der Nameserver für <yourdomain>.ch kann nicht durchgeführt werden, da die Registry für .ch-Domains keine Gluerecords im Format <hostname>/<ipv6> akzeptiert! Sie können also nur eine IPv4 Adresse angeben.
Für weitere Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung!
Ihr easyname.com Team
All I want to do is to run my own IPv6-only nameserver, using my domain name. Are such things common in Switzerland? Isn't there a general requirement in place for the .ch registry to support IPv6 as well as IPv4? How many .ch registries are there? (I would have thought 1...)
I'm no DNS guru, so can anyone please shed some light on how such things are possible in 2014? (I would have thought, that at least the DNS system is fully v6 capable).
Cheers,
Mat
