## Dualstack Routes

Gateway resources may be served from an external-loadbalancer which may support both IPv4 and "dualstack" (both IPv4 and IPv6) interfaces.
External DNS Controller uses the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/dualstack` annotation to determine this. If this annotation is
set to `true` then ExternalDNS will create two alias records (one A record
set to `true` then ExternalDNS will create two records (one A record
and one AAAA record) for each hostname associated with the Route resource.
