It's blatantly obnvisou because otherwise you have to try to figure out if www.example.com:587 is on the A or the AAAA record, which is pretty much he opposite of how multiple records work. If you had a DNS that returned multiple IPs got ;old balancing, would it be rational to have only SOME of those IPs respond on port 587 and others respond only on port 465 or 8955? Of course not. If you have to mandate ipv4, use the ipv4 address. -- I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.
