[dns-wg] "adding IPv6 glue to root zone" document

Nice!

I have two follow-up questions:

(1) Some DNS servers have added AAAA for their servers. If they run 
slave servers for some TLD's, those TLD's "suddenly" have AAAA records 
for one of their nameservers. Maybe these cases are the real world 
"experiments" we should look closely at? Have we heard any complaints?

I am especially thinking of ns.ripe.net which have one A and one AAAA 
record.

(2) In Sweden we are discussing adding AAAA to the zone, and have also 
made some studies (not run by me, I am a passive participant in the 
practical tests). We have tested things like possible problems resolver 
libraries have to send queries to a nameserver IF the nameserver have 
both A and AAAA records, the resolver have Ipv6 enabled, but not IPv6 
connectivity to the nameserver. Will the resolver fall back to IPv4 
transport? It should, and what we have found so far is that it does.

I hope we can have some data before the next RIPE meeting.

Has anyone else looked at potential problems like this?
