Oh yes it is, as it is another dependency and another two/three lookups.
Lets say example.com uses ns.example.nz:
query ., .com, example.com, .nz, example.nz, ns.example.nz (though maybe =
the latter is hinted as glue, though with DNSSEC that doesn't really=20
help), www.example.com
instead of:
query ., .com, example.com, www.example.com
Quite a bit quicker, and also less parts that can fail.
Lets see, a) IPv6 AAAA glue, or b) no IPv6 AAA glue and having quicker=20
resolution and less dependencies, let me think for a second, take a=20
small guess what I take (b).
Also, if you would look at http://www.sixxs.net/faq/dns/?faq=3Dipv6glue i=
t=20
is somewhat easy to find an alternative registrar which can do the glue=20
for you.
Greets,
