This is bad advice, because in DNS, ANY != ALL

If you query with qtype=any, and you ask a caching resolver, then it
will return to you all the records that are in its cache at that time,
which may or may not include the records you want.

In order to definitively get the A as well as the AAAA records, one
needs to ask for them specifically:

nslookup -type=AAAA www.example.com
nslookup -type=A www.example.com

This makes a cache explicitly look up those types of records if it
doesn't already have them.
