I say slightly pessimistic because there aren’t all that many 3XX responses being reported. Further, 8.8.8.8 actually fully supports EDNS0 Client Subnet capability, so if the geo-IP balancer in question wants, they can eliminate the failure mode you are describing in that case. However, in either case, I’ll happily give you a copy of the code if you want to enhance it to detect 3XX responses that redirect to an IPv6 capable site vs. 3XX responses that redirect to an IPv4 only site in a sort of slight of hand designed to trick scripts like this one (yes, there are some of those out there last time I looked).
