Comment:

 Behaviour has changed with 0.2.5.4, but it is still broken. Now I'm
 getting an NXDOMAIN instead whenever I do any AAAA lookups. A record
 lookups are still fine:

 mike at glue:~$ dig aaaa gmail.com @localhost -p 5304

 ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3-Debian <<>> aaaa gmail.com @localhost -p 5304
 ;; global options: +cmd
 ;; Got answer:
