[as112-ops] IPv6 network block for AS112 and experiments

All,

 	Good news:  The DNS-OARC has acquired an IPv6 network block for 
the use of AS112 nodes to anycast with, as a counterpart to its IPv4 
version.  Now, before people go crazy, there are some considerations to 
take into account:

- There's the draft from March to the IETF called
   draft-michaelson-as112-ipv6-00 which undoubtedly seeks input from the
   community;

- I have a draft setup page on converting an existing IPv4 node to use that
   draft's suggested zone list as well as configuring for IPv6 BGP peering,
   in my particular node's case.  The page is here:

 	http://public.as112.net/node/26

   Comments on this hack are welcome; and

- Absolutely, positively NO delegations of IPv6 reverse zones have been
   made, so even if the instructions were followed, the only queries that
   will work are deliberate ones made by an operator trying things out.

Speaking of trying things out, the IPv6 netblock is 2620:4f:8000::0/48 and 
I would be very interested if any of the fellow advanced academic and 
research networks that happen to have IPv6 connectivity can see this 
route.

Thanks,

wfms
