RFC 4472 has an excellent discussion of the topic, and while pointing
out that your mileage may vary, it recommends the AAAA on the same
name only when:
" 1. The address is assigned to the interface on the node.
2. The address is configured on the interface.
3. The interface is on a link that is connected to the IPv6
infrastructure.
In addition, if the AAAA record is added for the node, instead of
service as recommended, all the services of the node should be IPv6-
enabled prior to adding the resource record. "
Not a problem for names which are single services (www.foo.com),
but caution is required when the name has multiple services running.
