I do a similar thing in my DNS crudware, a pseudo-entry in the zone, every time the background update script runs, it does A and AAAA lookups and puts the results in the real zone, bumping the SOA serial if the result changed since last time. It's a crock, but one that we all seem to want. I suppose we could invent something like an AAAAANAME (that's A and AAAA name), that worked like a restricted CNAME and does an indirect lookup only for A or AAAA requests. Or overimplement it with a bitmap of the RR types to indirect for.
