We're a LIR, so naturally (!) we have our v4 PA. Funny enough, a
v6 PA seems out of the question.

Were this an ordinary end-site, I'd have no problem with it; unfortunately,
I have to overcome a few things which includes rolling out a heap of name
servers. As Iljitsch said, DNS has built-in redundancy. Unfortunately, it's
still limited. The biggest obstacle is the 510-byte answer packet that can
only be circumvented by anycasting the stuff (which of course is impossible
with a PA assignment).

The next biggest obstacle, of course, is that some people simply refuse to
listen.
