Dear Derek, there is a way to fix this problem in your large corporate
network, like we did for that small corporate network that I am using:
fix the resolvers. As you are claiming to have a large corporate
network, you most likely have only a handful of recursors but you might
have a 100k clients, lets see which ones are easier to upgrade, 100k
clients which are all over the place or that 10 max or so recursors....
easy pick I would say.

The thing you most likely are forgetting is the fact that the DNS recursors that you are using are not only broken for AAAA records, but most likely for every single other address. Thus, by resolving this issue you will solve other magical problems too.
You can directly move on to support DNSSEC too for that matter if you are busy anyway.

Yes, the problem is annoying, no there is not much that Ubuntu or any
other OS can do about this. Thus fix the problem in the right spot.
