Hi Mark,
I know this is the wrong list for this
discussion, but I wanted to reply on
general principles. I lurk on the v6ops
list so know you think about this stuff
a lot.

Firstly, you can tell nslookup to make queries “nslookup -query=”.
nslookup is a really old tool which is why it make A queries by default.
It predates even the concept of IPv6 (which dates from ~1995). The same
also applies to dig which is slightly younger than nslookup.
Secondly, I wo

Ah, true that. Does nslookup do that

DNS64 server takes a lookup and if there are NOT records at the name
it then performs a A lookup for the same name and maps the results into
records and returns them. There are additional caveats but that is the basic
process.
It does NOT take a A lookup and return record.

According to what I've read, that's exactly what DNS64 does. It converts A
records to records. (For mixed networks, it just passes through
records, but that's not in my configuration):

RRs." - https://tools.ietf.or

Because nslookup and dig are specialised DNS testing tools. They
don’t use getaddrinfo to perform test lookups. getaddrinfo is the
function that most applications use as part of the connection process.

I'll give those tools a try, but I don't understand how my client is
requesting an A record. It only has IPv6 networking. DNS64 should be
requesting an A record, but that the client should see is the converted
record. Is that not right?
