Hi everybody,

Today, a PowerDNS (open source dns, www.powerdns.com) deployment ran into
trouble with large amounts of IPv6 users. It appears a large telco 'flicked
the switch'. We had around 8000 DNS queries/s over IPv6, and everything
slowed to a crawl. 100% CPU utilization, most of it in the kernel. The same
amount of queries over IPv4 causes no problems.
