Hi all,

Given that V4-V6 transition will take some time, the default
protocol for communication will still be V4. Hence, I want
to run a dual stack for some time. Can I send multiple
queries (asking server for all A6, AAAA, and A records all
at once), so that I can decide which interface I want to
talk to ? This assumes, of course that I can transmit V6
packets, say by using tunneling or translation etc. 

Regards,
Sarang.

I haven't studied the RFCs in detail, but I would consider
any DNS server
that returns non-A records in the answer section of a
NOERROR response to an
"A" query to be broken. Now, the authority and additional
sections are
another matter.

You always ask first for AAAA, then A6 if you insist, and
finally A address
records.
