yeah, but than its an hostname you do not control. And it should not be used as such.

I had VPS like h283484.stratoserver.net for example but such hostname would I not suggest to
use for ie. a mention in the nodelist.

but alas I understand that in above way it is possible that a party already configured the
IPv6 record as well although it might not be configured on the VPS ;)
