BitTorrent tracker not working via IPv6

Reported by user:

It looks like IPv6 is broken
Connecting to http://tracker.openzim.org ([http://tracker.openzim.org]> (https://t.co/QWCU3b9tiE))|51.159.30.163|:6969... connected.

Looks like opentracker needs to be ran (and built) either for v6 or for v4. We'd need to run two trackers to support ipv4 and ipv6.

Do we want to?

I reported this issue (via twitter)
I really like IPv6, but understand if you don't want to maintain two different instances. If that's what you end up deciding then please remove the AAAA record so torrent clients can use the IPv4. rtorrent prefers IPv6 and doesn't use the v4 even if the v6 doesn't answer.

Ok I'll remove the record until we decide to act upon this. Thank you for the tip

Thank you :)

Was a CNAME to another record which had both A and AAAA records. Replaced it with an A record. Please give it a try in like an hour from now and let me know if this works with your client.

I'm not sure we should not have two instances....
