Yes. DNS can translate domain names to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

To translate a domain name to an IPv4 address, add an A record set. To translate a domain name to an IPv6 address, add an AAAA record set.

If your domain name is example.com, you can add the following record sets.

**Table 1** Record sets
Domain Name	Type	Value
www.example.com	A	192.168.1.2
www.example.com	AAAA	2407:c080:0:ffff:ffff:fffe:0:1

DNS servers (ns1.huaweicloud-dns.eu and ns2.huaweicloud-dns.eu) support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Local DNS servers, either supporting IPv4 or IPv6 or both, can send DNS queries to DNS servers.
