I have a Centos server that is running BIND and has IPv6 global addresses.
I have entered a number of AAAA records into this copy of BIND in a
local view and zone (tld is htt).
Over IPv4, I have no trouble with nslookup ('nslookup - 127.0.0.1' and
'nslookup - 192.168.128.55'). I get the AAAA records back.
But if I try to use the IPv6 address of the system I get a time out.
Both from nslookup and from ping6.
I setup /etc/resolv.conf as shown at:
http://docsun.cites.uiuc.edu/sun_docs/C/solaris_9/SUNWaadm/SYSADV5/p13.html
(the only hit I got on configuring resolv.conf for an IPv6 DNS server).
I have turned off both ip6tables and iptables so it is not a firewall issue.
Even 'nslookup - <ipv6 addr>' does not work. I seem to recall a
problem
with nslookup supporting udp over IPv6, but ping6 should not have that
problem.
This is all on the single system running BIND. I figure i got to get
that working before worrying about other systems!

Which would be expected if nslookup does not support IPv6 (particularly if it has been deprecated and replaced with something else, what). I changed /etc/resolv.conf to have: nameserver ::1 in it, and ping6 -n host.htt. still got 'unknown host'

I like nslookup in command mode better..... So 'host host.htt. -6' (and without the -6 and with ::1) does not work. My /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf does have the 'query-source-v6 53;' line in it and 'netstat -na|grep 53|more' shows a udp 0 0 :::53 :::* line, indicating that NAMED is listening on IPv6, and destination or source address. So what am I missing?
