For PowerDNS, the use of IPv6 for outgoing queries has to be enabled
manually, since we do not trust that *having* an IPv6 address means that it
works.

It might be a grand idea to automatically switch on IPv6 for outgoing
queries if root-priming succeeds over V6.

And perhaps switch IPv6 off again if none of the roots is reachable over
IPv6.

Or perhaps I'm inventing the wheel here ;-)

Would this make sense (operationally?).
