	IPv6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This scheme, which is a straightforward adaptation of the familiar A record and in-addr.arpa schemes, is defined in RFC 3596.
		The AAAA scheme was one of two proposals at the time the IPv6 architecture was being designed.
		ICANN announced on 20 July 2004 that the IPv6 AAAA records for the Japan (.jp) and Korea (.kr) country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) nameservers became visible in the DNS root server zone files with serial number 2004072000.

		AAAA records AAAA records have been used on IPv6 network (also known as 6bone) since it has started in 1996 and has been working just fine ever since.
		AAAA record is a straight extension of A record; it needs a single query- response roundtrip to resolve a name into an IPv6 address.
		With record types other than A6, we had no such problem, since we have never tried to reassemble an address out of multiple DNS records (with CNAME chain chasing a similar problem can arise, but the failure mode is much simpler to diagnose as the records are considered as an atomic entity).

	RFC 2874
		Such administrators can do automatic generation of AAAA records for all of a zone's names which own A6 records by a process which mimics the resolution of a hostname to an IPv6 address (see section 3.1.4).
		For full robustness, those A6 records which were in different zones should be monitored for changes (in TTL or RDATA) even when there are no changes to zone for which AAAA records are being generated.
		All mentions of AAAA records in that document are henceforth to be interpreted as meaning A6 and/or AAAA records in the order specified in the previous paragraph.

		The zone file parser is smart enough to know how many fields the record data for a given record type needs; once all the fields for a given record type is processed, the parser parses the next entry it sees as the name for the next record to process.

	Chapter 8 - IPv6 AAAA Address Record
		The current IETF recommendation is to use AAAA (Quad A) RR for forward mapping and PTR RRs for reverse mapping when defining IPv6 networks.
		The IPv6 AAAA RR is defined in RFC 3596.
		The order in which AAAA RRs are defined is not significant but it may be easier to define them in either an ascending or descending order of IP address since this can prevent unintentional duplicate definitions.

		run, the new value is used to delimit subsequent records, but the record currently being processed, as well as records already processed, are not affected.
		In general, each record ends at the next string that matches the regular expression; the next record starts at the end of the matching string.
		The best way to treat a whole file as a single record is to simply read the file in, one record at a time, concatenating each record onto the end of the previous ones.

	What is IPv6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There are new records in DNS for IPv6, which support the ease of maintenance and mobility which are hallmarks of IPv6.
		AAAA records are supported in older versions of BIND, such as BIND version 8.
		The DNAME record is similar to the CNAME record, and is used to reference the Provider's prefix in PTR records.

		TXT records are somewhat of a catch-all DNS record.
		SPF records are part of a larger effort to reduce spam by describing a framework where mailservers can check through DNS to see if a host sending an email is authorized to send for that domain.
		Usually this isn't a problem, but if your records are longer than 127 characters and you don't want to trust arbitrary client DNS implementations to reconstruct your SPF records, a generic record can be used instead.

		The glue could be any of o a minimal set of A6 records duplicated from the X.EXAMPLE zone, o a (possibly smaller) set of records which collapse the structure of that minimal set, o or a set of A6 records with prefix length zero, giving the entire global addresses of the servers.
		Transition from AAAA and Coexistence with A Records Administrators of zones which contain A6 records can easily accommodate deployed resolvers which understand AAAA records but not A6 records.
		Transition from Nibble Labels to Binary Labels Implementations conforming to RFC 1886 [AAAA] perform reverse lookups as follows: An IPv6 address is represented as a name in the IP6.INT domain by a sequence of nibbles separated by dots with the suffix ".IP6.INT".

		If the 'A' record is resolved, it returns the 'A' record to the application as is. In the case, there is no need for the IP conversion by the translator.
		If only the 'AAAA' record is available, it requests the mapper to assign an IPv4 address corresponding to the IPv6 address, then creates the 'A' record for the assigned IPv4 address, and returns the 'A' record to the application.
		NOTE: In the case of communication with an IPv4 host, the 'A' record is resolved and then the resolver returns it to the application as is. There is no need for the IP conversion as shown later.

		The objective of this work is to split the AAAA record in the DNS into location and identifier to provide future capabilities for dynamic renumbering of addresses.
		The design objective of these two record types is to make it transparent to existing DNS resolvers and the DNS protocol used to query for AAAA records.
		There may be multiple RG's defined for each aAA record, and in those cases the DNS primary server after synthesis of RG's to a specific aAA record must return muliple AAAA record types in the answer section of a query response for AAAA records.

	A DNS Primer *DRAFT!!!*

		The AAAA record is a fairly new (as these things go) record used to map IPv6 addresses.
		Like A records, where more than one AAAA record exists, all the records are passed back to the program that initiated the lookup.

		For a single MX record, there are multiple possible final states, including: (a) one or more A records for the IPv4 destination, (b) one or more AAAA records for the IPv6 destination, (c) a mixture of A and AAAA records.
		When there is no destination address record found (i.e., the sender MTA is IPv4-only and there are no A records available), the case should be treated just like MX records without address records, and deliveries should fail.
		NOTE: If one or more address records are found, an implementation may sort addresses based on the implementation's preference of A or AAAA records.

		If the AAAA record is available, it requests the address mapper to assign an IPv4 address corresponding to the IPv6 address, then creates the A record for the assigned IPv4 address, and returns the A record to the application.
		The registration occurs in the following 2 cases: (1) When the name resolver gets only an 'AAAA' record for the target host name and there is not a mapping entry for the IPv6 address.
		When only the AAAA record is resolved, the name resolver requests the address mapper to assign an IPv4 address corresponding to the IPv6 address.

		However, A6 records (RFC2874) have been deemed "Experimental" by the IETF, with preference being given to AAAA records (RFC3363, RFC3364).
