ipv6gate.sixxs.net works for anyone?

The example links on http://www.sixxs.net/misc/coolstuff/ , like http://www.flickr.com.sixxs.org/ or http://www.cnn.com.sixxs.org/ do not work for me (DNS resolution fails).
While http://ipv6gate.sixxs.net/ just says "It works!".
According to the coolstuff page it should contain more information about the gateway.

As per the news item about our cleanup we are doing exactly that, cleaning up.
IPv6gate pages where unreachable for a bit, but all should be fine now.
The example links should also work..
If they are not, do please note what your DNS reports.

OK, the gateway web page now works, but the examples don't.
Here is the DNS :
# nslookup  www.google.com.sixxs.org 8.8.8.8
Server:     google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:    8.8.8.8
nslookup: www.google.com.sixxs.org: Unknown host
(it is the same with my ISPs DNS server)

That is correct as you are asking for an "A" record, and *.sixxs.org and *.ipv6.sixxs.org have only IPv6 (AAAA) records, *.ipv4.sixxs.org has only IPv4 (A) records.
 $ dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com.sixxs.org aaaa

And nope, there is no IPv4 address for IPv6Gate addresses:
$ dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com.sixxs.org a
; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P2 <<>> @8.8.8.8 www.google.com.sixxs.org a

Though there is if it would be a IPv4Gate host:
$ dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com.ipv4.sixxs.org A
