Authoritative DNS server not available over ipv6

[fhopper 1]

The FAQ at https://airvpn.org/faq/servers_ip/ says that dns1.airvpn.org is the authoritative DNS server. I've been querying this DNS server for a few years now using the dig command shown in the FAQ.
Since my ISP uses 464xlat, I'm now planning to switch to an ipv6 only network at home. I noticed that dns1.airvpn.org itself does not have an AAAA record and would not be available over ipv6. Is this something you can fix, or is there a different domain name that has the AAAA record pointing to your authoritative DNS server?

You can see for yourself that dns1.airvpn.org has no AAAA records here -> https://dnschecker.org/#AAAA/dns1.airvpn.org

I understand that. The FAQ says "The recommended server is updated every 5 minutes, to balance users between servers." Thus in order to get the current recommended server, before I connect over wireguard I query the authoritative dns server using this command:
 

dig ANY nl.ipv6.vpn.airdns.org @dns1.airvpn.org +short

What I'm asking is if that dig command will still work if i totally disable IPv4. I don't see how it will, since dns1.airvpn.org doesn't seem to be available over IPv6.

Hello!

OK sorry, we misunderstood the question then. No, it will not work. We'll update this thread when possible.

Kind regards
