I appear to have my NAT64+DN64 IPv6 -> IPv4 network configured correctly,
as I can access IPv4 only Internet sites, e.g. from my browser. But some
tools don't seem to work the way I think they should.
One example is nslookup. If do nslookup ipv4.google.com, I get:
$ nslookup ipv4.google.com

I'll give those tools a try, but I don't understand how my client is
requesting an A record. It only has IPv6 networking. DNS64 should be
requesting an A record, but that the client should see is the converted
record. Is that not right?

Because nslookup and dig are specialised DNS testing tools. They
don’t use getaddrinfo to perform test lookups. getaddrinfo is the

According to what I've read, that's exactly what DNS64 does. It converts A
records to records. (For mixed networks, it just passes through
records, but that's not in my configuration):
"DNS64 is a mechanism for synthesizing resource records (RRs) from A
RRs." - https://tools.ietf.or
DNS64 server takes a lookup and if there are NOT records at the name
it then performs a A lookup for the same name and maps the results into
records and returns them. There are additional caveats but that is the basic
process.
It does NOT take a A lookup and return record.

Ah, true that. Does nslookup do that

Firstly, you can tell nslookup to make queries “nslookup -query=”.
nslookup is a really old tool which is why it make A queries by default.
It predates even the concept of IPv6 (which dates from ~1995). The same
also applies to dig which is slightly younger than nslookup.
