[afrinic-discuss] Deprecation of ip6.int scheduled for 1 June 2006

[frank at afrinic.net]

In August 2005, the IETF published RFC 4159: 'Deprecation of  "ip6.int"',
which advises the community that the use of "ip6.int" for IPv6 reverse
address mapping should be deprecated and ip6.arpa used instead.

In adopting the RFC's recommendations, the Regional Internet Registries
(RIRs) have jointly agreed to cease support of "ip6.int" delegations as of 1
June 2006.
