Well sec3.apnic.net already has a AAAA address. APNIC is registered with 
Network Solutions, who already provide the facility to register machines 
with AAAA glue in .com and .net, an example of which is ep.net

$ dig +trace ep.net | tail

ep.net.                 172800  IN      NS      dot.ep.net.
ep.net.                 172800  IN      NS      flag.ep.net.
;; Received 121 bytes from 192.5.6.30#53(A.GTLD-SERVERS.net) in 246 ms

ep.net.                 86400   IN      A       198.32.6.31
ep.net.                 86400   IN      NS      dot.ep.net.
ep.net.                 86400   IN      NS      flag.ep.net.

$ whois ep.net | head

Found a referral to whois.networksolutions.com.

So if APNIC updated their registration there would be a .au IPv6 server.

Unfortunately this is APNIC I'm talking about, so I'm not holding my breath.
