This is clearly not the case. Linux clients in particular seem to always do AAAA as well as A queries: Netalyzr is an IPv4 service, (we detect IPv6 usage, its only a couple of percent and Netalyzr has a very geek-biased dataset), but there are a LOT of clients which are doing v6 queries on DNS as well as V4. EG, a colleague had very problematic network connections from his parent's home back to ICSI, because the stupid NAT's built in DNS proxy (until he reflashed an update) was blocking AAAA queries. His linux host would do an A and an AAAA query and, until the AAAA query timed out, delay creating connections eg, through SSH, web browsing, etc. An amazingly painful experience for him until he diagnosed it. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
