DNS is supposed to be a way to resolve domain names into IP addresses.
How else would one get an IP(v6) address from a domain name other
than by using DNS?  Am I missing something here?

Whether to use DNS to resolve a name into a non-address foobar might be
debatable.
Whether to use DNS to resolve a name into an IP(v6) address is not.
