Apologies. The intent is to drop inbound AAAA queries from the internet.

Just dropping AAAA queries is a bad idea as most machines actually
have a AAAA addresses (loopback and linklocal) so just about every
application makes AAAA queries. If you drop AAAA queries you slow
up every address lookup in your network.
