Is an IPv6-only glue/delegation record a problem in a world of IPv4?

I think this may have been the problem...

I went back in to the registrar's DNS control panel, cleaned everything
out and started afresh. In addition to the conventional 'delegate your
domain' control function I found that they also allow independent manual
tweaking of the glue - I think these two frontends may well have got out
of sync (my fault I'm sure for changing things too quickly) and ended up
in a bit of a mess.

The whole debacle has turned into something of a blessing in disguise
however -  I've discovered that the registrar provides a free secondary
service for domains purchased through them... and their nameserver is
dual-stacked too so all the better for my situation!

Thanks everyone for the assistance,

Mathew
