@namedbird@noc.social @nygren@hachyderm.io I would not call it worse but much harder to debug. In a non-trivial case with CDNs and dynamic sets of DNS servers, you get a random looking set of DNS servers of which a random fraction has AAAA records. Depending on which you pick and how many failures you tolerate, this gives you a good chance of resolve failures. Checking 10sec later with another tool behaves totally different. Checking from another vantage point behaves totally different.

@namedbird@noc.social @nygren@hachyderm.io In practice, IPv6-only resolvers are still rare. I only encountered this due to building and operating https://webres6.dev.sap/ – an IPv6-only website/app tester.
