OT: Nerdy fun...

[Nick]

Nerdy fun.

I was doing some network testing today and was using nslookup (available on lots of operating systems).

So I query bbc.co.uk for its data and get back the IPv6 and IPV4 addresses - note the IPV6 ones. 

Quote:Name:    bbc.co.uk
Addresses: 
          2001:41c1:4008::bbc:1
          2001:41c1:4008::bbc:2
          2001:41c1:4008::bbc:3
          2001:41c1:4008::bbc:4
          2001:41c1:400c::bbc:1
          2001:41c1:400c::bbc:2
          2001:41c1:400c::bbc:3
          2001:41c1:400c::bbc:4
          212.58.244.23
          212.58.246.78
          212.58.244.22
          212.58.246.79

I did warn you it was nerdy fun. Well done, the Beeb.

This has been around for a bit and is mentioned in RFC5514 as a possibility for Facebook (who later used 2a03:2880:f013:13:face:b00c::1823).

Whilst I’m not a user, Facebook has done the same thing:

Name:    facebook.com.au

Addresses:  2a03:2880:f019:111:face:b00c:0:2

 

Name:    facebook.com

Addresses:  2a03:2880:f119:8083:face:b00c:0:25de

 

And, a little more on the humorous side:

Name:    www.luns.net.uk

Addresses:  2a01:8900:0:1::b00b:1e5

In a processor course I attended many years
ago, on the final exam, the instructor rigged it so that
the better students would know they had answered some of the
problems correctly.

One such test answer which I'll never forget
was 0001 DEAD B00B.
