I manage the zone file and manually set the AAAA record there.

laurent@frutti:~$ host -t aaaa nowwhat.lateralis.org
nowwhat.lateralis.org has AAAA address 2001:838:300:2ab::2

Manually querying each of the three listed NS servers yields the same.
The query was tested on three different hosts including one without
IPv6 address.

I think my zone file is fine, but I appreciate help in debugging it if
it's not the case.

Working on this.
