Thanks for all your hard work! icanhazip.com / icanhazptr.com have been incredibly useful.

Small feature request: back in the day {ipv4,ipv6}.{icanhazptr,icanhazip}.com only had A / AAAA records, but now it seems they have both and thus a simple "curl ipv4.icanhzptr.com" can also give me a v6 address (of course, "curl -4" works). Would Cloudfare be OK with separating them again?

http://v4.icanhazip.com/ seems to return just the v4 address, same with http://v6.icanhazip.com/

Yep, same here -- no AAAA record for v4.icanhazip and no A record for v6.icanhazip . The documented interfaces were ipv4/ipv6 though https://major.io/icanhazip-com-faq/ and {v4,v6}.icanhazptr.com have both A and AAAA.
