> 1. Do you have IPv6 enabled in the kernel?
Yes, IPv6 is working on the system. I can ping6 its ::1 locally, as well as its external v6 interface from a v6-connected remote host over the internet.
> 2. What does your /etc/hosts file say?
It has a localhost entry for 127.0.0.1 and a localhost entry for ::1
> 3. Can you actually resolve the `mydomain' domain?
I've simply put that in as a placeholder for the actual domain. Resolution works fine. I can even resolve the A and AAAA records in the domain via the host command when *not* using the -6 option (ie host(1) asks the nameserver on the 127.0.0.1 interface). What I was trying to do was force host(1) to query the nameserver on ::1 to ensure that BIND was properly answering queries on its IPv6 addresses.
Thanks, Matt
