AAAA, A6, or both?

First of all, if this is off topic for this list I apologize in
advance and do not want anyone to feel obligated to read this.

It seems like I am (finally) getting hooked up to the 6bone and
getting some public address space, so suddenly another issue becomes
more critical:  what DNS record type to use for forward mapping. There
are AAAA and A6, and as far as I gather a lot of confusion as to which
should be used (not to mention reverse mapping, but at least there
we're only talking about one record *type*). So, my question is, which
should I use: A6, AAAA, or both? I don't have many machines for the
moment so the maintenance burden of the AAAA approach is pretty much
nada, and I would like to be able to serve content over IPv6 to as
many as possible.

Could anyone please advise me as to which approach I should take?
Every time I read up on this I only get more confused.

Thanks a lot in advance,


Michael Kjörling
