I fixed it by using the rpz feature of bind to disable the AAAA record
for www.pay.gov. I lookup the real A record, and then put

www.pay.gov IN A %s

into the local rpz zone. That suppresses the AAAA record, so local
clients are forced into IPv4 for that site. That allows them to use IPv6
for other sites.

path MTU - hm, I need to check that.
