Since IPv4 is considered "historic" for a while now, there is another record type, which is becoming more and more important:
AAAA Records are much like A Records, but instead of using IPv4-Addresses, they map the name to an IPv6 Address.
Just for some comparison of address space between IPv6 and IPv4
IPv4: 2^32 = 4,294,967,295 IPv6: 2^128 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
Agreed! This is going to be more and more important moving forward!
