Apparently Network solutions can be bribed per phone passing your
user&password over it to do it manually. There are some others too.
Would be nice to have a FAQ explaining how to get it though.

That would be a great thing to see happening. a TLD like .org will
quite possibly also be in the position to request IPv6 glue into
