During the last meeting, Kurtis Lindquist asked an interesting
question. He asked if anyone had a good explanation for the amount of
requests for the now experimental type A6 Resource Record. This exact
question was asked by David Malone during the OARC meeting (july
2005) as well.

If anyone is interested in doing this, or has a reasonable
explanation for these A6 queries, please let me know.
BIND 9.2 keeps its full support for A6 and is still in use pretty
widely, so I guess that's the most likely source of such queries.
(BIND 9.2 was already in a maintenance state when A6 was effectively
deprecated by the compromise word of "experimental, and the A6 support
has stayed in its maintenance releases.)
I agree. BIND 9.2 does this, and so does BIND 8.3, and these seem to
be the bulk. But there are some instances that emit A6 outside of the
8.3/9.2 set.
