I tried to do it in a round robin record based on the described
behavior. My theory was that the inverse response should occur and
satisfy. My results were failure. BIND 9.3.2 accepted the record, did
not complain and properly reloaded the zone, but did not offer the v6
AAAA as the inverse. I'm probably missing something here... like "not
supported". :-)

Should be an operation defined by gethostbyname() no?
