The record format is the same one that is used for DJBDNS, which by default does not support IPv6 addresses. There is a patch that adds IPv6 support, records start with 6 for IPv6 records.

If you want to create a record named:

  6www.whatever.com

You would put that into the file as:

  66www.whatever.com

Only the first character is used in the DJBDNS record format to specify what the rest of record type is.

it might not cause problems, but is not very concise

adding syntax to support new features always causes problems (python .. ^cough^)
