Nothing stopping you from having say 4 As and 3 AAAAs attached to one www record though.Personally, I think that having two AAAA records will hold you in place for long enough that vendors will catch up with decent AAAA load balancing support, unless of course you get hit by the mythical IPv6 killer app in the meantime.
Assuming that the mythical v6 killer app requires the use of the dns at all...
distributed p2p overlay networks don't make much use of the dns now for service and resource location, it's seems likely that they won't on v6 either.
