I would advocate pointing to blackhole.as112.arpa instead, even without
the proper DNAME delegation. I would expect the operators of that
service to be abreast of current events... N'est-ce pas?

Can someone use their ring node access rights to repeat the home.arpa
readiness test @blackhole.as112.arpa?

Also: I noticed that Kim's ring node test did not specify IP address
family. I noticed this because the list contained two ring nodes where
our anycast node route should NOT be visible. Upon further investigation
it turned out that only IPv6 traffic from those nodes came to our node.
IPv4 traffic from those nodes went elsewhere.


BTW, does someone or something still use the names blackhole-3.iana.org
and blackhole-4.iana.org? Now that those addresses are incorporated in
blackholes 1 and 2, I'm wondering if they're still necessary.

Yours,
