Erik and team,



The public DNS64 resolvers are pingable but do not resolve. The
following simple test is coming from an IPv6-only network that is behind
NAT64.

ping6 2001:4860:4860::6464
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2601:2c3:887f:5f73:11b7:5c86:b051:5c2c -->

Hmmm. From Japan:

"dig any cnn.com +trace +all @2001:4860:4860::6464" is also quite voluminous.

Are you still seeing an outage from your location? (whois suggests:

NetName: HOUSTON-RPD-V6-2
NetHandle: NET6-2601-2C0-1
Parent: COMCAST6NET (NET6-2601-1)

but that's not necessarily authoritative)

Erik,

Where are you seeing the outage you indicated? Is that for an anycast
presence of the Google DNS64 server? All my Comcast IPv6 routing looks
fine. I get a /60 from them. If I use OpenDNS resolvers over IPv6,
things are fine. However, OpenDNS does not do DNS64...

Do you know of other public DNS64 resolvers I could test with?


For the Public Google DNS64, all my DNS requests fail/timeout. Also
traceroute dies. Ping works but does have several outlier responses.
Something is definitely not right. Packet capture yield not responses
back for the queries. What else can I try?

Erik,

I just opened a ticket with Comcast and hope it gets to the proper group.

If I log into the  Cisco network via VPN, the DNS64 server works. So, it
has to be something inside the Comcast network.

Where did you see the outage you mentioned in the previous email?


Regards,

Jeffry J. Handal

By "outage" I was referring to the failure to respond to DNS that you
reported. My apologies for the imprecise, overloaded term.

Best of luck.

Erik,

Thanks for clarifying. I am still chasing it done with Comcast.

I may have to reach out to John Brzozowski directly if this ticket goes
nowhere.

Regards,
