How to handle AAAA query for v4 only host

Apologies if anyone thinks this does not require coordination or is somehow not operational.However, I have a situation where some nameservers for which I am responsible
are receiving AAAA queries for hosts for which we are authoritative. We return the SOA only as it seems we are supposed to, but, we are seeing a significant delay before we get an A query back from the resolver, which, we believe represents a significant delay for the end user in getting to the web page in question. Is there a better way to answer an AAAA query for a v4 only host? Is it permitted and/or desirable to return a 6to4 or IPv4-Mapped address? Is there some other preferable thing to return? Thanks, Owen -- If this message was not signed with gpg key 0FE2AA3D, it's probably a forgery.
