Deadwood beta on debian lenny

Looks to be an issue with getting an AAAA record for volltreffer.de,
clubber.de, and mueller.de

In all three cases, I can get an A record, but Deadwood gives me a
"server fail" when I try to get the AAAA record (which doesn't exist
for any of these names, but Deadwood should still cache and forward
the "that doesn't exist" DNS reply).

One workaround for names like this (A OK, AAAA having problems) is to
add the following line to /etc/dwood3rc:

reject_aaaa = 1

This will automatically return a synthetic "this host does not exist"
reply to any and all AAAA queries.  Of course, this isn't a good idea
for anyone actually using IPv6, but it's a reasonable workaround until
I can fix the Deadwood code.

>> C:\>nslookup mueller.de

nslookup is really an outdated tool.  I prefer "dig" myself, or my own
(very simple) Askmara tool.  Dig in use:

dig mueller.de

or

dig @127.0.0.1 mueller.de

or

dig mueller.de AAAA

security bug you think you found can reasonably be exploited.
