you'd think helping the taxman would be appreciated.

The hostname www.eftps.gov has both A and AAAA records, but the site is only reachable via IPv4.  Worse, the IPv6 
connectivity is broken in such a way that Firefox and Internet Explorer do not fall back to IPv4.
Tracing is broken for both protocols.  The 10-net addresss in the IPv4 path were cute.

Calling their technical support was an exercise in futility.  Supposedly they forwarded messages on to the right 
people; but the site is still broken after over a week's wait.  If someone knows the admins behind the EFTPS website 
and can forward this to them, the accounting firm for which I work would appreciate it.

Thanks,
