If the application is going to use the AA record it has to have an IPv4.1 stack. This causes it to emit IPv4 packets where the first four bytes are sent in the IPv4 header and the remaining four bytes are sent as a header

Can't one then use a DNS lookup which tells it a tunnel endpoint for an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel, and provide transparent IPv6 at both ends? This could be implemented entirely at the network edge, eliminating the need for special stacks at the endpoints.
