What they do however is return the wrong SOA record.So you have to check each and every domain in the source to find which ones are broken.Which one really shouldn't have to do. Add DS-Lite support to the phone and have the carriers advertise that they support DS-Lite and the IPv4 literal problem goes away. This has been done in a phone already so it is possible to do.Ds-lite has been dismissed by 3gpp. Nytimes needs to start using fqdns and ideally ipv6. Until then, it's their content that's being mangled. It is not reasonable for network operators to engineer for amateur web programming mistakes
It still doesn't stop handest manufatures adding DS-Lite support and operators responding to the DHCP option so the handsets can find the AFTR box. NAT64/DNS64 may be the only operator side only solution but it has lots of limitation to it and it can't be made to work as well has DS-Lite even once the handset know the DNS64 prefix and BIH is added to translate IPv4 to IPv6 inside the handset using the DNS64 prefix.
