Well, not documented indeed, I wonder if it is really necessary to explicit
this.
The only misleading part IMO is the "dot notation" wording and sortlist options:
nameserver Name server IP address
Internet address (in dot notation)
[..]
sortlist
[..]
sortlist 130.155.160.0/255.255.240.0 130.155.0.0
I don't know whether it works, I don't have IPv6 to easily perform the test.
If this works, an IPv6 example would be welcomed.
