I thought DHCPv6 still supported lists of recursive DNS servers?

It would seem possible to set up a test "DNS4v4" recursive server,
serving an AAAA-free subset of DNS for v4 clients, and to test it
with an authentication server. This would probably require diving
into the source code of one of the open source recursive resolver
implementations and disabling some of the AAAA code. Or maybe paying
one of the DNS software vendors to add this feature.
Something like this would also help those customers whose OS insists
on trying to use IPv6 when an AAAA record is found via additional
records, even when there is no other indication that IPv6 is available.
Or are you arguing that ISPs are not going to deploy such hacks?
