	Apparently not.  The client libraries usually have determined
	that IPv6 *is* enabled to some extent if you are getting AAAA
	queries.

	This would be better asked in OS specific lists as it is the
	client libraries that are generating the queries.

	Alternatively you could actually start using IPv6.
