My view is that deploying only IPv6 in the LANs is the wrong approach in the
short term, unless you're sure that all your applications are ready, or you
have translation tools (that often are ugly), and you're disconnected from
the rest of the IPv4 Internet.

You're entitled to your view.

If you deploy dual-stack, it is much easier to keep doing the DNS
queries
using IPv4 transport, and there is not any practical advantage in
doing so
with IPv6 transport.

Thanks Jordi, not to sound too brash but, I'm already doing so.  I am
trying not to deploy a hacked v6 service which requires an incumbent
legacy protocol to work.

As said by others, the core infrastructure really should be ready for v6-only. Why should it be so hard?
