Is there anyone from duke.edu on this list? I am having problems with 
IPv6 on one of their sub-delegations causing mail delays. Trying to go 
through the front door writes me off with "not our problem".


dm.duke.edu. 21600 IN NS nameserver1.mc.duke.edu.
dm.duke.edu. 21600 IN NS nameserver2.mc.duke.edu.
;; Received 135 bytes from 152.3.105.232#53(dns-auth-02.oit.duke.edu) in 
76 ms

nameserver1.mc.duke.edu has address 152.16.1.4
nameserver1.mc.duke.edu has IPv6 address 2620:0:691:dc50::4

nameserver2.mc.duke.edu has address 152.16.1.12
nameserver2.mc.duke.edu has IPv6 address 2620:0:691:dc57::12


Works on IPv4:
