In the forward/reverse zones on a 6to4 setup, should I have

nanguo          IN A                203.1.96.5
nanguo-v6      IN AAAA         2002:cb01:6005:2::1


or


nanguo          IN A                203.1.96.5
nanguo          IN AAAA         2002:cb01:6005:2::1


When referring to the particular host ?

Either works - but which is ... errr... correct?

I notice that if I have the second option, the systems behave with IPv6
selected as the primary protocol, and fall back to IPv4. Which would seem to
be the ideal situation.

If I have the first option selected, IPv4 is the 'default' protocol, and the
IPv6 hosts only respong when actuall called by an IPv6 app, like ping6 for
example.

Thanks
Robert
