While we (ISC) have been working on this for years 
<https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/merge_requests/2166>, this is yet 
another example of why DNS64 should be made historic.  This
is requesting even more support to work around problems introduced by DN64, a 
poorly thought out, supposedly short term hack.

It is NOT needed with 464XLAT, DS-Lite and other transition technologies where 
the IP stack maps
from IPv4 to IPv6 or the CPE maps from IPv4 to IPv6.

Additionally this is an indication the BCP91 is now out of date.  Best current 
practice has been
to operate dual stack servers for many years now.
