I'm now confused. The address is the one in your message. It was in tte
response to the nslookup you copied into your message  The address is from
a L3 block, but is being announced by Yahoo!. We peer directly with Yahoo!
in San Jose (and other places). I see no indication that Level(3) is
involved in any way other than owning hte net block that Yahoo uses.

I don't have IPv6 at home, but the HE looking glass also routes to an
Equinix exchange and directly to yahoo and on to www.freebsd.org. If I try
to trace from a Level(3) looking glass, it fails. something very odd id
going on. Looks like Level(3) forgot that the address was assigned to
FreeBSD and is not accepting the Yahoo! route or something similar.
