      ^ not sure he did..  Can tell you for sure if I disable ipv4 on my box, and point to HE ipv6 for dns to just take my unbound cache and ipv4 connectivity out of the question for dns, etc.

      I can not get to that site.. I only show test-ipv6.com with IPv4 records..  Be it you query from ipv4 or ipv6 dns..

      I disable ipv4 on my machine and only use IPv6 I can not get to that site..

        That's what I'd expect too.  Something just doesn't add up here.

        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          That site as I showed you will show you don't have ipv4 if you just block access to those 2 ipv4 IPs.. You can see exactly how the site tests for ipv4..  Which is kind of lame if it only listens on ipv4 kind of obvious that you must of accessed it via ipv4 ;)

          So I tested again.. And even when you query only from ipv6 I can not find an IPv6 address for that site.. So loading it must of come up via ipv4..

          So while I show NS having ipv6 for that domain

          ;; QUESTION SECTION:
          ;test-ipv6.com.                IN      NS

          ;; ANSWER SECTION:
          test-ipv6.com.          300    IN      NS      ns1.test-ipv6.com.
          test-ipv6.com.          300    IN      NS      ns2.test-ipv6.com.

          ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
          ns1.test-ipv6.com.      300    IN      A      216.218.228.118
          ns1.test-ipv6.com.      300    IN      AAAA    2001:470:1:18::118
          ns2.test-ipv6.com.      300    IN      A      209.128.193.197
          ns2.test-ipv6.com.      300    IN      AAAA    2607:f0db:5001:8000::2

          If you query the IPv6 NS address you don't get a AAAA response for test-ipv6.com or www.test-ipv6.com
