Calculating zeta(1+it) for t in range of 10^12 accurately

Hello guys.  I am working on a project which requires me to calculate 
zeta(1+it) for t in the range no more than 10^12 and it's in 
arbitrary-precision format like:

t=(Pi 10^12)/Log(3) -1/3;

What is the best way to make sure I'm getting the accuracy correctly to 
at least 6 decimal places?  I've been using:

N[Zeta[1+it],{Infty,20}]

Is this the best way?  Also, can anyone tell me what algorithm 
Mathematica is using to calculate zeta at this value?  Is it 
Riemann-Segel?

Thanks,

Dominic
