Just in case it is relevant ot someone else, www.freebsd.com  is currently
unreachable via IPv6 from Level(3). While the address is announced by
Yahoo!, it is from an address block belonging to Level(3) but is being
announced by Yahoo!. This works fine as long as you are NOT using Level(3).
IPv4 is not involved.

NOTE: This may be a problem caused by n error on the part of Level(3),
Yahoo!, or FreeBSD. Without knowing details of how FreeBSD got the address
and what arrangements Yahoo! made for announcing it to peers, there is no
way to tell for sure. I can only say that ARIN shows no assignment from L3
to Yahoo or FreeBSD and the same situation is present for another /48 in
the same L3 /32.
