??? Why so?
This would be the equivalent to say: "If queried using IPv6, DNS will 
return AAAA
and if queried using IPv4, it will return A".

Now, let's say that this is the case for DHCP,
what should a node that act both as a DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 client do
when it will be returned two lists of recursive DNS serves, one IPv4 
via DHCPv4
and one IPv6 via DHCPv6. Which one should take priority?
