Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] IPv6 DNS records with dns_*() functions
From: r.korving@xit.nl ("Ron Korving")

hmm, from http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/rfc/ i get the same idea, yet on other
websites it is mentioned sometimes that A6 is the "new" AAAA.. .pretty
weird..

if both are used in practice tho, i think PHP should parse them both, don't
you think?
