Most root servers are "anycasted:" physical machines are placed in different locations, but share an address. Requests are automatically routed to the closest server. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080205-icann-flips-switch-on-ipv6-dns-root-servers.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/arstechnica.com/img/E82B0493-3BA2-4BEC-A42B-91AB86D4FEF1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080205-icann-flips-switch-on-ipv6-dns-root-servers.html"> As we <A href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080102-icann-to-add-ipv6-addresses-for-root-dns-servers.html" linkindex="26" set="yes">noted a month ago</A>, this change means that it's now possible for an IPv6-only system to connect to another IPv6-only system without the need to do DNS lookups over IPv4. In order to see how well that works, I turned off IPv4 on my Mac, started up a local nameserver, and started typing URLs. Of the 16 web sites that I tried, nine were reachable, seven were not.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080205-icann-flips-switch-on-ipv6-dns-root-servers.html"> What does this step mean in the grand scheme of things? In practical terms, nothing, really: you pretty much have to go out of your way to run an IPv6-only nameserver, </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080205-icann-flips-switch-on-ipv6-dns-root-servers.html">in a few years we'll have a situation where most of the Internet is still IPv4-only, but newcomers won't be able to get IPv4 addresses to join the party.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7AB4360F-93D3-4E6F-849A-77E186976EC4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
