Err, not at all. You go to install/remove additional windows components (I do not recall the exact phrasing) and select IPv6.

I didn't. :-) And the bastard stopped doing A queries. :-)
That'll be because, according to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/techinfo/administration/ipv6/default.asp
there's no support in Windows XP's IPv6 stack for DNS.
