An AAAA record (also known as a quad-A record) is used to map an IPv6 address to a domain name in a DNS zone. It is similar to an A record used for mapping IPv4 addresses. A records hold the name-to-address mapping for IPv4 addresses, PTR records are used for reverse DNS lookups, and TXT records hold various types of text-based information like SPF records for email authentication.
