I ran a web bug for a reasonably popular generic Dutch site for a
while, and I discovered that around 0.16% of all requests (that's
about 1 in 666) happened over IPv6.
Counting AAAA requests isn't very reliable, as some software performs
these requests even if the system has no IPv6 connectivity. I believe
Firefox does this unless IPv6 support is turned off. (It's turned on
by default on nix and Win, off on Mac.)
