ok, so the testbed has this server listed for slave service. I would ask the RIPE folks to do the following: add this aaaa record to the ripe.net zone that they manage. contact the administrators of the testbed .NET zone (if you need a pointer...) and have the testbed .NET zone include this glue as well ... for example: [root@66 named]# dig uy. ns any @::1 ;; Warning, extra type option ; <<>> DiG 9.3.0s20021115 <<>> uy. ns any @::1 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 33493 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 5, ADDITIONAL: 6 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;uy.
