That is what I was going to do next. When I try that the order indeed
changes.

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.
