Sorry, I just tried again and can't reproduce this behavior -- when doing
an AAAA query on a random domain name I get a clean 0/0/0 answer indicating
no RRs of the desired type having been found, and doing an AAAA query on a
domain name that does have RRs of that type, I do get the desired records.

I'm trying to recall what specific problem it was that I was seeing..
