Google finally indexing the IPv6 internet
Some good IPv6 news from Google
As of 18th of June (perhaps sooner) the Googlebot has been indexing websites via IPv6:
2001:4860:4801:1109:0:6006:1300:b075 – - [18/Jun/2010:08:46:05 +0200] “GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1″ 200 69 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)”
2001:4860:4801:1109:0:6006:1300:b075 – - [18/Jun/2010:09:47:01 +0200] “GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1″ 200 69 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)”
2001:4860:4801:1109:0:6006:1300:b075 – - [18/Jun/2010:10:48:06 +0200] “GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1″ 200 69 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)”
In the logs of Fix6 i can find these request from the 18th June up until the 19th of July.
The IP is from the Google IPv6 range and resolves to:
5.7.0.b.0.0.3.1.6.0.0.6.0.0.0.0.9.0.1.1.1.0.8.4.0.6.8.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer crawl-2001-4860-4801-1109-0000-6006-1300-b075.googlebot.com.
And that reverse back the the IPv6 address. So its a Googlebot with only IPv6 connectivity!
This is some very good news! Keep up the good work Google!
Actually there is more than 1 such address for the Googlebot. I have seen 5 different addresses.

Since you know you have the googlebot’s attention could you create a site on a 6to4 IP, link to it and wait?
Will googlebot get to it? And if so, from what source?
I dont have the resources to make a site like that. But if you have one i would be more then willing to post a link to it. But do take note that for now it only collected my robots.txt and not the rest of the site.
