Add support for AAAA records

[cyberpower678]

Some ISPs only assign an IPv6 and no IPv4 IP to their customers. As a result this utility will fail to update anything at all when trying to assign a domain to it. This utility is useful beyond the realms of the Unifi gateways. I'm able to plug in the same update URLs into FritzBox's and those with IPv4 pass the updated record to CloudFlare successfully.

I have to routers that currently do not have IPv4, and their records are not being updated subsequently.

Would it be possible to implement AAAA support?

We could Ppotentially adding some conditional logic in the script to check for the submitted IP (looking for : character for example) to determine the type of record to create. If anyone wants to contribute a PR, I'd be happy to review and merge!

Is this still needing implementation? The code seems to already look for AAAA records if the IP address doesn't contain a ..

https://github.com/willswire/unifi-ddns/blob/main/src/index.js#L35

async findRecord(zone, name, isIPV4 = true) {
  const rrType = isIPV4 ? "A" : "AAAA";

I'm not seeing any AAAA records on my IPv6 only domains, despite the Dynamic DNS being set up for it. I've got 3 Fritz Boxes, 2 are IPv6 only and the last is IPv4 only. Only the IPv4 is sending updates.

Are the two IPv6 domains using subdomains? There's a note in the readme that for IPv4 subdomains, the A record needs to be created manually first. Perhaps it's similar for AAAA?

[cyberpower678]

You might be right. I've created AAAA records for the two and pointed it to ::. Let's see if they actually populate.

[cyberpower678]

Nope. It's not updating my records.

This should fully implement the feature which should allow both IPv4 and IPv6 to be updated simultaneously.
