I recently ran across this gem while trying to troubleshoot a domain for
a customer:

ns1.dnsexit.com.        28800   IN      A       69.57.160.118
ns1.dnsexit.com.        28800   IN      AAAA    ::1
ns2.dnsexit.com.        59400   IN      A       64.182.102.188
ns2.dnsexit.com.        59400   IN      AAAA    ::1
ns3.dnsexit.com.        57600   IN      A       67.214.175.73
ns3.dnsexit.com.        57600   IN      AAAA    ::1
ns4.dnsexit.com.        57600   IN      A       67.214.161.154
ns4.dnsexit.com.        57600   IN      AAAA    ::1

I was trying to figure out why dig kept saying no servers were reachable
until I tried from a IPv4 only site and saw the above. So far it just
seems like a nice way to intentionally break things.
