So I've got some IPv6-only VMs set up that need to talk to the
general internet for things like downloading packages. As you can
imagine, this requires that they have NAT64 and DNS64, because lots
and lots of things are IPv4 only.
The problem is that many things do *stupid shit* when given both

Truly, one should be fixing the applications not mucking with DNS responses.
DNS servers do not know the purpose of the A record lookup so changing it in
the server may break other applications. Additionally doing this will break
applications using DNSSEC.
There is no good reason to be IPv6
Not hard - rpz zone with a single record will do it. I'm not typing on an ideal
device to give an example right now, I'm afraid ...
Mark is of course correct that v6-only is a struggle right now and that fixing
the apps is the proper solution. But I'm

...I'm assuming you're deliberately engaging in a learning exercise and don't
want the rest of your experiments to be held up waiting for this one issue to
be fixed. But please do hassle the app vendor/devs to fix their broken stuff.
Tbh I'm still a bit
Here's the digging my ISP did:
[root@dvs-node01 ~]# node
var dns = require('dns')
undefined
dns.resolve('github.com', function(e, h) { console.log(JSON.stringify(h)) } )
{ oncomplete: [Function: onanswer] }
[207.97.227.239]
undefined
dns.resolve6('github.com', function(e, h) {
Ah, it's ... a lot worse than I thought; here's the relevant node.js

I knew node.js was made by twelve year olds, but even so... Words
fail me.
