They do the same thing for requests that don't involve a CNAME, so they're 
either choking on the AAAA query or a NOERROR response in general; it's hard 
to tell which since I can only see one side of their box.  I also don't know 
how they react when you try to contact a site that _does_ have AAAA records, 
since no major content site has them (which is a whole 'nother discussion).

What's weird is that they don't just return a 0-record NOERROR when you do 
the follow-up A query, which would be the most logical failure mode -- they 
return an authoritative answer of 0.0.0.1 instead.

Of course, dealing with idiot consumers on a regular basis, their tech 
support folks insist the problem is on the user's machine and that it's a 
bug in their v6 stack, despite Ethereal captures showing the bad DNS 
response packets coming from their box...
