DNS: IPv6 Resource Record Request

This signature detects IPv6 Resource Record (RR) requests. The requesting client is configured to use IPv6 either natively or via a tunneling solution, such as Teredo, 6to4, ISATAP, or other IPv6 tunnel brokers. Such tunneled traffic is not inspected by the IDP and could be an evasion attempt.
