% Hi ,lazy and all
% 
%  Can I define A6 record same as AAAA?

	No.

% eg.
% >     foo.bar.net IN AAAA     3ffe:1234:5678:1::1

	This is good.


% Can I used this?
% >     foo.bar.net IN A6   3ffe:1234:5678:1::1

	No. But you can use this:

	foo.bar.net IN A6   0 3ffe:1234:5678:1::1

Be sure to also do this:

1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.e.f.f.3.ip6.int. in ptr foo.bar.net.
