Hello,

does anyone have a working contact for the .nu ccTLD administration? I 
tried support at nic.nu (listed on their webpage) and hostmaster at nic.nu 
(from the SOA record), no response.

They are listing broken AAAA records for most of their ccTLD nameservers 
which leads to delays on some/most/all(?) IPv6-enabled recursors.

ns0.telia.nic.nu.       86400   IN      A       212.181.91.4

I've never seen such a format. A mapped address (which would still be 
useless) would be ::ffff:<ipv4address>, I don't think ::<ipv4address> 
even exists.

Bernhard
