Here is a list of AA servers commonly used by our customers:

DNS servers
Customer‑facing resolvers 2001:8b0::2020
2001:8b0::2021
These two servers are caching DNS servers - typically used in your TCP/IP settings.
Customer‑facing resolvers 217.169.20.20
217.169.20.21
These two servers are caching DNS servers - typically used in your TCP/IP settings.
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) available see: https://www.aa.net.uk/dns/ for information
DNS over TLS (DoT) available see: https://www.aa.net.uk/dns/ for information
Customer‑facing resolvers (NAT64) 2001:8b0:6464::1
2001:8b0:6464::2
These DNS servers provide faked IPv6 responses for any host that has an IPv4 address but not an IPv6 address
Internet-facing resolvers primary‑dns.co.uk
secondary‑dns.co.uk
These serve the DNS for domains that we host. You'd only need to know these if we host the DNS for your domain, but the domain is registered with another company
Internet-facing resolvers auth.primary‑dns.co.uk
auth.secondary‑dns.co.uk
Primarily used for reverse DNS records + delegation. You probably don't need to use these directly.
