  I confirmed that the IP address returned from servers is used by Windows clients.

  I just filed a formal request to add the information to the document.  The IPv6-only behavior has been updated in 7.3.1.7 [MS-ADTS] as follows



  sin_addr (4 bytes): The socket address, represented in big-endian byte order. The value is an IPv4 address. If the domain controller does not have an IPv4 address, this value SHOULD be 127.0.0.1.



Thanks

Did you find out if they used the address?

So, I think we just need this written into the docs, and the IPv6-only server behaviour (was it 127.0.0.1 that gets written in there?) documented.
