Description

IPv6 and AAAA Records are more and more common these days, I believe that TLDR should also add scans for record id 28.

class DNSTool:
def init( self, verbose = True ):
self.verbose = verbose
self.domain_cache = {}
self.RECORD_MAP = {
1: 'A',
2: 'NS',
5: 'CNAME',
6: 'SOA',
11: 'WKS',
12: 'PTR',
15: 'MX',
16: 'TXT',
17: 'RP',
18: 'AFSDB',
28: 'AAAA',
33: 'SRV',
38: 'A6'
}

Research direction

Start with the DNSTool class and its RECORD_MAP, which the issue identifies as the relevant entry point. Verify how mapped DNS record types are scanned and represented, then confirm that AAAA records with type 28 appear in the results.
