IPv6 and QuickDNS

Short answer: Upgrade to Mac OS X.

Long answer: QuickDNS Server for Mac OS 9 isn't going to be
significantly updated anymore. We're moving to other platforms, and
that code is highly platform-specific. Therefore, we suggest that
anyone who needs this sort of functionality migrate to another
platform, such as Mac OS X.

BTW: QuickDNS 4.0 adds support for AAAA records. It'll be available
for Mac OS X soon.
