4.4 DNS Issues

 At the present time AAAA and PTR records for locally assigned local
 IPv6 addresses are not recommended to be installed in the global DNS.
 The operational issues relating to this are beyond the scope of this
 document.

Since obviously address that don't appear in the DNS aren't usable in practice, this passage effectively requires two-faced DNS.

Maybe we're not using same definition of two-faced DNS (different answers for same query based on query-source), but there are other ways to deal with above than two-faced DNS, eg put RR's which refer to local-scope addresses in zones which can be queried only from that same scope.

Works a treat.
