That is ultimately what I'm trying to achieve.
Yes, it make sense. The following will retrieve the SOA record from ns-ext.isc.org using its IPv6 address over tcp. If you put a literal IPv6 address rather than a name then the -6 is not needed. % dig -6 dv.isc.org soa @ns-ext.isc.org +tcp ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1 <<>> -6 dv.isc.org soa @ns-ext.isc.org +tcp ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 1588 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;dv.isc.org.

Use a allocated address or generate a ULA prefix for testing and use that.
