If you deploy dual-stack, it is much easier to keep doing the DNS queries using IPv4 transport, and there is not any practical advantage in doing so with IPv6 transport.
Thanks Jordi, not to sound too brash but, I'm already doing so. I am trying not to deploy a hacked v6 service which requires an incumbent legacy protocol to work.
Of course, is nice to have IPv6 support in as many DNS infrastructure pieces as possible, and a good signal to the market. Many TLDs already do, and the root servers are moving also in that direction. Hopefully then the rest of the folks involved in DNS move on.
I would like to support v6 so a native v6 only user can still communicate with my network, dns and all, apparently in practice that is not easy to do, which is somewhat ironic given all of the v6 push lately. It also seems like the roots are not even fully supporting this properly?
there are providers that have (in the US even if that matters) ipv6 connected auth servers, that could even help. I can't seem to make one of them want to be a registrar too :( but... maybe Ultra/Neustar could do that for you?
