Oh wow, that might be the shortest-representation IPv6 DNS server I've seen to date: 2620:fe::9

2a09:: 2a11:: and 2409:: are the shortest.

I found them via IP address, so I don't know anything about the company beyond that.

Nah, apparently it's completely valid to end IPv6 addresses with a 0. And I haven't done much research, but it seems IPv6 really doesn't have network addresses the way IPv4 does.

Also you can ping them and they reply.

You can have .0 as a host. 10.0.1.0/23 is a perfectly valid host, same with 10.0.0.255/23
