I've implemented it as an extension to the --address option, similar to how you can use --address=/domain.com/# to respond with the all-zeroes addres, I suggest using --address=/domain.com/!6 to block AAAA queries, or .../!4 to block A queries for the specified domain name(s). Dnsmasq will then respond with NXDOMAIN for the requested records.

Hi Peter, 

Just found this email thread from my inbox. Did you forget to attach your patch(es) or sent them off-list? I don’t see any attachments on this thread. 

Best,
