A big thanks to Dirk from this side as well...

On the subject of AAAA records, W1NR-9 was connecting to my main node
W1NR with a DNS name that had a AAAA record associated with it. As soon
as I did the upgrade on W1NR-9, it would not connect to W1NR because the
changes were not done there yet. It was trying the IPv6 address but
no-one was listening at the other end. My normal cluster connect DNS
(dx.w1nr.net) does not yet have a AAAA record. Something to consider
should you add the AAAA record and suddenly your peers, that have an
IPv6 stack but have not updated from git, might have problems connecting.
