15 Interesting is an understatement. DNS is fascinating. I've got syslogd
16 on my router set up to send everything to tty1, which I also disabled
17 getty on, so I get to watch my syslog scroll by while I'm in the room.
18 I've been doing it this way for most of this year, and I've watched
19 DNS change in that time. For example:
20 * I'm seeing far fewer errors logged complaining about EDNS. That's been nice.
21 * I'm seeing fewer errors logged about bad AAAA lookups (FORMERR et
22 al). Most sites which publish AAAA records seem to be doing it OK,
23 although some CDNs, Google+ and Wikipedia *still* aren't doing it
24 right.

26 I've also switched from AT&T ADSL to Comcast in that time (though my
27 IPv6 comes from 6to4 in both cases), so some of those changes may be
28 an ISP-level issue.
