DNSViz [1] reports that the nameservers respond NXDomain for AAAA
queries. When this gets into the cache, the resolver will indeed decide
that the name does not exist.

This is a problem with the auhtoritative servers. They should not send
NXDomain for *types* that don't exist, but a NOERROR with the SOA in
the AUTHORITY section of the response. See RFC 2308 Section 1, on
NODATA [2].

Good luck in solving this issue.

Cheers,

Pieter
