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!).
I think software still could make a better stab at things now. You're doing AAAA lookups on a system without any IPv6 interfaces. It's not like it's useful information to have if it succeeds...
