Hmm, good suggestion, that I'd not considered, Thanks. It does appear to clear that up (down to two lookups from three: an AAAA and an A). It doesn't always appear to work though:
http://bar.baz.domain.com./index.html
This doesn't appear to universally work, but I'm not sure whether that's a bug with the affected web servers or not.
Yes, I'm sure it will depend on the implementation, the trailing dot was somewhat an educated guess from previous ISC BIND & dig tool use. :-) As for both the A and AAAA record, I think you will have that until IPv4 is fully deprecated by IPv6 and no longer exists, unless, of course, you want to use non IPv6 aware software (or non-IPv4 aware software... shudder - it will happen!).
