But you are clearly wrong. Because he got asked and then told us what the
underlying problem was, he got in touch with the correct guy at Google that
will now fix his problem the right way. Your way everyone would have ended
up in a worse shape.
Also we are not just here to show of our vast knowledge, but to learn. Some
of us would want to know why one would want to disable IPv6 for Google.
Maybe our own network has the same issues. And I for one would not want the
"block Google" solution. We already registered our customer allocation size
of /48 in the RIPE database, so I hope Google will pick that up
automatically.
