------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 I have Tor v0.2.5.0-alpha-dev running with DNSPort 53

 Tor incorrectly returns an A record when asking for an AAAA
 {{{
 $ host -t aaaa google.com 127.0.0.1
 Using domain server:
 Name: 127.0.0.1
 Address: 127.0.0.1#53
 Aliases:

 google.com has address 74.125.132.138
 }}}

 Additionally, if there is no AAAA record, it still returns an A

 Using Google's public DNS:

 {{{
 $ host -t aaaa chase.com 8.8.8.8
 Using domain server:
 Name: 8.8.8.8
 Address: 8.8.8.8#53
 Aliases:

 chase.com has no AAAA record
 }}}

 Using Tor's DNSPort
 {{{
 $ host -t aaaa chase.com 127.0.0.1
 Using domain server:
 Name: 127.0.0.1
 Address: 127.0.0.1#53
 Aliases:

 chase.com has address 159.53.84.126
 }}}
