Given the above, I think there is no myth.. !

That's because the 'v6 network' is broken enough that putting AAAA records on sites that need to be well reachable is a bad idea.


For example, due mainly to Vista's 6to4 tunnelling stuff (based on researching a random sample of users), I'd lose about 4% of visitors to my web-sites if I were to turn on AAAA records.

Has anyone who was using AAAA records for a site turned them off due to reachability problems?
