What DNS servers are you using?

I am using the ones listed on the sonic.net https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/List_of_rec ... NS_servers
208.201.224.11

208.201.224.33

Okay. When I remove the IPv6 DNS servers from my router, I fail http://test-ipv6.com with 9/10, and a warning that the IPv4 DNS servers, same pair as you use, have no access to the IPv6 Internet.

The IPv4 DNS servers do return AAAA records:

C:\utils\dig>nslookup www.google.com 208.201.224.11
Server: ns1.sonic.net
Address: 208.201.224.11

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.google.com
Addresses: 2607:f8b0:4007:804::1010
74.125.224.112
74.125.224.116
74.125.224.113
74.125.224.114
74.125.224.115

So I don't know what is going on there.

Trace route is failing, today; but possibly due to anti-DDoS measures being taken by Akamai. The site, www.whitehouse.gov, is working for me.

It is true that the name server clusters that handle 208.201.224.11/33 do not have v6 connectivity so would not be able to resolve a record that only had v6 authoritative servers.

Dear Reader,

If your looking for a backup dns server.
