Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/230

An option to inherit the A record from the related host would be great, e.g., related.sub.example.com inherits the A-record from sub.example.com.

Nice feature if you port-forward base.dom:port -> host.base.dom:port, then you can just use host.base.dom with port and it works, no matter whether it uses v4 or v6.

But: if you can't use the same port on base.dom (v4) as on host.base.dom (v6), you can not avoid connecting to the v4 address any more and your connection will only work in 50% of the cases.

Thus, this requires an option and the default should be off.

Hmm, I guess this is already possible, just maybe not obvious:

Try setting the v4 interface id to 0.0.0.0 then you should get an A record that is main address + 0.0.0.0 == main address.

So, if that solves your issue, maybe it should be made more obvious / better documented?
