Description

https://redmine.ungleich.ch/issues/7496

Says that place5 and place6 should return ONLY AAAA records

But both of them, as well as every other ungleich DNS server I know of, return both A and AAAA records.

Most software today defaults to A records if they exist and only uses AAAA if they do not. Web browsers for example.

Furthermore, the following page says that by choosing place5 and place6 as DNS resolvers one can route almost all traffic through the VPN. But because they return A records, in practice this does not happen.
