usastaffing.gov is amusing because they have AAAA but no A for their "www."
service name,
> host www.usastaffing.gov
www.usastaffing.gov has IPv6 address 2620:109:21:8200::22

usastaffing.gov has address 205.131.182.22
usastaffing.gov has IPv6 address 2620:109:21:8200::22
Happy Eyeballs are needed so dual-stack clients don't suffer problems
