Description wp mirror 2014-09-24 05:33:13 UTC

To whom it may concern,

     0) PROBLEM

     Most of the WMF sites have IPv6 addresses. For example:

(shell)$ dig www.mediawiki.org AAAA
text-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org. 1393 IN   AAAA    2620:0:861:ed1a::1
(shell)$ dig lists.wikimedia.org [lists.wikimedia.org] AAAA
lists.wikimedia.org.    31      IN      AAAA   2620:0:861:1::2
(shell)$ dig en.wikipedia.org [en.wikipedia.org] AAAA
text-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org. 1459 IN   AAAA    2620:0:861:ed1a::1

     However, <wikitech.wikimedia.org> does *not* have an IPv6 address. 
     This is a problem for those on IPv6 only nets.

     1) REQUEST

     Please assign an IPv6 address for <wikitech.wikimedia.org>.

Sincerely Yours,
Kent

I don't understand this syntax. What is the second "lists.wikimedia.org" on that line?

The "[lists.wikimedia.org]" string does not belong. It was generated somehow, perhaps by the browser. It seems that some softwares make an attempt to recognize an URL and repeat it in square brackets. I see this sometimes in e-mails. Sorry for the confusion.
