It grew that way historically: keeping rfc1918 addresses out of public dns and having ipv6 addresses in a separate zone. I decided today to go towards having ipv6 preferred for everything and ipv4-legacy-nat for applications that don't support ipv6 yet (for example nfs). Thanks for your insights! Time to dump the separate ipv6 zone: that does NOT help moving towards ipv6.
