I’ve used Hurricane Electric’s excellent free IPv6 Tunnel Broker for years since Kuhn can’t be bothered to provide native IPv6. I’m occasionally a NetFlix subscriber. I’ve had trouble re-starting my Netflix subscription over the past few weeks, and today determined it is because they are doing evil things with IPv6, or more likely, with my tunnel broker specifically. Why does Netflix make it hard for me to give them money? I fixed this by filtering AAAA records for a number of Netflix domains on my local DNS server. Some good references follow:

• Workarounds for Netflix and the blocking of IPv6 tunnels
• Return A records but not AAAA records on specific domain in bind9
