LinkedIn is IPv6enabled but Azure Front Door NS are not IPv6 enabled – No access from #IPV6Only

Linkedin.com

Linkedin is proud to be IPv6 enables since 2016 ( IPv6 at LinkedIn Part I, IPv6 Inside LinkedIn Part II, IPv6 Inside LinkedIn Part III: The Elephant in the Room, LinkedIn Passes IPv6 Milestone) but still there is a Probelm. Linkedin used Microsoft CDN which Nameservers donot yet support IPv6.

www.linkedin.com. 300 IN CNAME www-linkedin-com.l-0005.l-msedge.net.
www-linkedin-com.l-0005.l-msedge.net. 240 IN CNAME l-0005.l-msedge.net.
l-0005.l-msedge.net. 240 IN AAAA 2620:1ec:21::14

l-msedge.net. 84113 IN NS ns1.l-msedge.net.
l-msedge.net. 84113 IN NS ns2.l-msedge.net.
Both anycast NS donot have a AAAA record.

Those NS are part of Azure Front Door

dig +short s-msedge.net NS
dig +short segment2-s-msedge.net NS
dig +short t-msedge.net NS

And non of those NS servers have AAAA record. So even if a subdomain is IPv6 enabled those sites donot work from #IPv6Only
