Another reason to not use them. Seriusly, if they cannot expend some thousands of dollars (because it shouldn't be more than that) in "touching code, (hopefully) testing that code, deploying it, training customer support staff to answer questions, updating documentation, etc." I cannot take them as a serious provider for my names.

What you mention is real, but the code they need is little more than a regular expression that can be found on Google and a 20-line script for testing lames. And a couple of weeks of testing, and I think I'm exaggerating. If they don't want to offer support for it, they can just put up some disclaimer. regards, Carlos On 3/28/12 3:55 PM, David Conrad wrote:On Mar 28, 2012, at 11:47 AM, Carlos Martinez-Cagnazzo wrote:I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, but, c'mon. For a provisioning system, an AAAA record is just a fragging string, just like any other DNS record. How difficult to support can it be ?Of course it is more than a string. It requires touching code, (hopefully) testing that code, deploying it, training customer support staff to answer questions, updating documentation, etc. Presumably Netsol did the cost/benefit analysis and decided the potential increase in revenue generated by the vast hordes of people demanding IPv6 (or the potential lost in revenue as the vast hordes transfer away) didn't justify the expense. Simple business decision. Regards, -drcThat's assuming their system is sanely or logically designed. It could be a total disaster of code, which makes adding such a feature a major pain. --John
