Hi there. I added an IPv6 server to the pool, but I can’t find AAAA records on either {ru,europe,0,us,de}.pool.ntp.org. Am I right that right now IPv6 records simply don’t get served to clients? ---

IPv6 is served on the 2.(xxx).pool.ntp.org queries only. It was done initially to allow IPv6 servers to be added to the pool without overwhelming them. Example: $ host [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has address 185.82.232.254 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has address 147.231.100.5 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has address 193.70.90.148 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has address 193.219.61.120 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has IPv6 address 2a02:2290::16 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has IPv6 address 2a02:2a08:102::220 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has IPv6 address 2a01:4f8:162:548a::2 [2.europe.pool.ntp.org](http://2.europe.pool.ntp.org) has IPv6 address 2001:1600:4:1::123 ---

Isn’t there any plan to add AAAA records to one more name, like [1.pool.ntp.org](http://1.pool.ntp.org) too? Two names (0 and 3) would still have only A record. That is a smooth move towards full support of IPv6. ---

Hi, I was wondering; is there any news on this? 🤔 ---

Come on please, are you only here to push the failed IPv6? Every topic you open or re-open is about IPv6. Nobody cares about IPv6, trust me, nobody does. IPv6 will die soon if they don’t re-think it, as it’s impossible to implement unless you smoked weed or used some crack. ---
