Or does it require using bind? (If bind is > required, is it bind-9?) If I remember correctly, FreeBSD 4.1 supports IPv6 of DNS transport. I don't know much about FreeBSD configuration , but how about trying to add the following in your /etc/resolv.conf? nameserver xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:... where xxxx:... is the IPv6 address of your DNS server.
