Our request to the registry for IPv6 glue records for the following name servers has been completed: ns1-auth.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:3::c ns2-auth.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:4::c ns1.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:3::b ns2.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:4::b ns1-i.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:3::10 ns2-i.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:4::10

Introducing Complete IPv6 Support
Earlier this month we posted a Sprint maintenance notice and hinted at a larger announcement. This event set the stage for this announcement: complete IPv6 support for our portfolio of services. Sprint needed to install a software upgrade on the router we’re connected to in order to offer dual-stack native IPv6 to our existing circuit. [...]
IPv6 Changes for Primary DNS
As part of our migration of all IPv6 services into 2607:fe70::/32, the Primary DNS servers now have new addresses. They are: ns1-auth.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:3::c ns2-auth.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:4::c If you have reassigned our IP addresses to NS records under your domain please update your DNS. The old addresses have been depreciated and will stop answering queries soon.
IPv6 Changes for Secondary DNS
As part of our migration of all IPv6 services into 2607:fe70::/32, the Secondary DNS servers will be getting new addresses. They are: ns1.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:3::b ns2.rollernet.us 2607:fe70:0:4::b If you are performing zone transfers using IPv6, please permit these addresses as slaves on your masters. If you have reassigned our IP addresses to NS records under your [...]
Four /8 Blocks Allocated to the RIRs
Re-posted from the arin-announce mailing list: Today, 30 November 2010, the IANA allocated four /8s to the RIRs – 23/8 and 100/8 to ARIN and 5/8 and 37/8 to RIPE NCC. This leaves only seven /8s remaining in IANA free pool of IPv4 addresses, or 2.73% of the total. When the IANA IPv4 free pool [...]
AfriNIC gets 105/8
It looks like AfriNIC was given a /8 earlier than expected; previously they were estimated to request an /8 in 2011. ARIN is rumored to request two /8′s shortly as well before the end of 2010. As we like to keep mentioning, Roller Network offers an IPv6 enabled network. We are also continuing to diligently [...]
IANA Free Pool Down to 12, Are You Ready for IPv6?
As of October 2010 the IANA has allocated 36/8 and 42/8 to APNIC, leaving only 12 /8s left in the IPv4 free pool. So far the following /8s have been allocated to various registries throughout 2010: 1/8 14/8 27/8 31/8 36/8 42/8 49/8 50/8 101/8 107/8 176/8 177/8 181/8 223/8 If this same rate of [...]
6to4 Relay Activated
Roller Network has activated a 6to4 relay on one of our border routers. We have several customers using 6to4 addresses, so instead of relying on public relays for this traffic we will now originate it ourselves. Scanning through the logs and performing a traceroute/ping on several of them revealed working connectivity, but in the event [...]
Global Crossing IPv6 In Service
We are pleased to announce that our native IPv6 connection to Global Crossing is now officially in service. It’s actually been in service since June, but there were a few changes that had to be made before we could make it official.
DNS Exit Breaks IPv6
We were troubleshooting DNS for a customer who has the domains hosted over at DNS Exit over the last couple of days and couldn’t seem to nail down why we here at Rollernet couldn’t resolve their DNS reliably, if at all. After much extended testing, we eventually tested from a site that was IPv4 only [...]
