[Not really answering your question, but...]

I've done some measurements, and it seems about half a percent of
names and nameservers have some problem answering AAAA queries.
Unfortunately, those names crop up alot, as several ad servers have
problems. However, I think Doubliclick are now actually working
toward fixing their name servers (though more people letting them
know what a pain it is would probably help).

I've also written a script that tries to diagnose which name servers
are at fault for a given name:
