Is that how we'd want it? I remember there were some concerns about DNS queries returning (or clients preferring) AAAA over A records. I use different names for v4 and v6 services too, and that seems like a viable way of creating an "opt-in" system for both users and servers. On the server side, just submit your box as a second server with a designated v6 name/address. On the client side, use x.v6.pool.ntp.org. Just a thought, I can set mine up either way.
