    It is not. It is working.

    However, at the moment, I see this.

    The news server has only an IPV6 address (and Teredo no longer exists, for the most part).

    PS C:\Users > nslookup news.eternal-september.org

    Name: news.eternal-september.org
    Address: 2a01:4f9:4b:44c2::2

    Whereas the web server still has the normal IPV4/IPV6 assignment look to it.

    It's not clear whether both will transition to the same setup, or not.

    Do not panic and try and "rewire" E-S in any way.
    You can make an awful mess, if you "try to fix it the obvious way".

    Editing the HOSTS file is probably safer (add an IPV4 entry if you're IPV4 only),
    just don't mod Thunderbird server settings for example.

    Let's give Ray a chance to respond in eternal-september.support .

    It can take a day to a day and a half, for a DNS change to propagate
    world wide, if this setup changes again.

    Strangely, the situation seems resolved, and I didn't reboot anything.
    This is collected on the same machine, as the original report.

    No wonder the server response time has become very fast.

    It usually took about half a minute to connect. Now it's snappy.

    Teredo still exists, although connectivity is very bad and some Teredo
    servers don't exist anymore.

    If your ISP doesn't give you IPv6, you can use a SIT tunnel from
    Hurricane Electric.
