The current AAAA-record documentation appears to be wrong, it suggests using c in place of : for IPv6, but the example does not work:

$ host -t AAAA prefix-make-ip-v6-1c2cc3-rr-suffix.1u.ms
prefix-make-ip-v6-1c2cc3-rr-suffix.1u.ms has no AAAA record

By checking the code, it appears the correct character to use in place of column is actually l, and indeed it works using that:

host -t AAAA prefix-make-ip-v6-1l2ll3-rr-suffix.1u.ms
prefix-make-ip-v6-1l2ll3-rr-suffix.1u.ms has IPv6 address 1:2::3

I just updated the README to reflect the correct character.
