he - net - ipv6 - "professional" what fun !


just had to wait for the subnet delegation of authority to propagate to validation checking program area -  some things still take time to finally work.

this part is setting up "reverse dns" (given an IP address, look up the FQDN, fully qualified domain name), but part of that process requires steps that are not instantaneous --

check out ipv6.he.net and click on "certifications"
