A "doesnt-work" tag is applied if the probe returns results for (in this
case) some IPv6 measurements, and all of those results indicate a failure
to reach the targets. If, on the other hand, the probe has a problem
submitting results to the controller, then we don't know whether it can or
cannot reach IPv6 targets, so it doesn't get either tag. In general you can
consider a probe with a "connected" status, but none of (ipv4-works,
ipv6-doesnt-work, ipv4-works, ipv6-doesnt-work), as having a problem
submitting results due to some other issue.

Similar to above:

1. The DNS record returned is as expected
2. A DNS record is returned, but it is not the one expected
3. No DNS record could be returned
4. The relevant measurement results were not submitted
