As far as I remember, 'a' does just specify ip address without
specifying the protocol version.

So if a hostname is ipv4/ipv6 dual stack, 'a' includes all ipv4 and
ipv6 addresses that hostname ressource resolved to. So this should not
fail.

But I don't know if specific SPF checking implementations might fail of
they get an excessively large amount of ip addresses in the reply. This
could also fail because the DNS query itself fails (poor EDNS
implementation, reply not fitting into the one UDP reply packet etc.)
