The fact that it is RedHat or Gentoo or FreeBSD is irrelevant. The
good question is "What DNS server software?" BIND? NSD? PowerDNS?

In standard zone file format (section 5 of RFC 1035), recognized by
BIND and NSD, this would be simply two lines instead of one:

mymachine    IN     AAAA    2001:db8:1::1
             IN     AAAA    2001:db8:1::2

(There are variants, for instance using absolute names and not
relative ones, as I did.)
