My domains NS records currently point to ns[1-5].he.net, yet I can't seem to pass the Guru level test with the error "Couldn't get AAAA for NS".

Using HE's anycast DNS server, I see the following for my domain:

$ dig ip6.jameshamilton.us NS @2001:470:20::2

Am I getting fouled up because ns1.he.net doesn't have a AAAA record, or is there something cached incorrectly that I can't see?

Thanks for any help!

Either negative caching, or the ip6 is trimmed off

Ok, I think I know part of the reason I had been failing: the test was running against what I put in for my webserver, www.ip6.jameshamilton.us:8086.  If I trim off the www and the port number, I can get the first part (AAAA records for the NS) to report Success.  However, the second part, NS reachable via IPv6, still fails.  (Screenshot attached for maximum clarity.)

I gave up on my cheap, IPv6-unfriendly registrar and registered a new domain with a cheaper-yet-friendlier registrar that allowed me to register the glue records I needed for the Sage test.  (I would have failed that anyway, even if this problem had been solved.)
