It seems like the public DNS64 stopped working for IPv4 only websites such as test-ipv6.com as of Monday Sep 25. Anyone else can experience the same?

Hmmm... At first I saw:

prompt$ dig @publicdns64.google.com test-ipv6.com
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> @publicdns64.google.com test-ipv6.com
; (2 servers found)

But shortly thereafter it seemed to start working again:

prompt$ for i in a aaaa; do dig @publicdns64.google.com -t $i
+short test-ipv6.com; done
133.208.22.95
64:ff9b::85d0:165f

...hmm

I confirm the problem. I've noticed it on Sep 27. I've created a RIPE Atlas measurement that confirms that DNS64 is failing for most parts of the world with an exception of some Asia-Pacific probes. I've also filled an issue. No response yet.

The issue got accepted and right now, Google seems to be rolling out a fix right now. In my case, it's working already:
 $ dig +short ipv4only.arpa AAAA @2001:4860:4860::64 
64:ff9b::c000:ab
64:ff9b::c000:aa

Any updates on this issue? Still not working for me...

$ dig @publicdns64.google.com -t AAAA test-ipv6.com
