(The dns-operations list may be better suited for such a question.) The result you are seeing could be because Facebook is one of the most popular applications used by the general public, and many people post many links often on Facebook (including those in the .nic.in and .gov.in domains), and when the Facebook application tries to download the webpage, Facebook's resolvers contact your authoritative server using IPv6. See https://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php It wouldn't be surprising if Facebook also refreshes information about a URL after a time period, or periodically checks webpages during a user's link click before a redirect, creating additional queries. The statistic of IPv6 queries could be very different from overall traffic, as you are measuring only networks that could contact your servers over IPv6. Mukund
