Package: libc6
Version: 2.5-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

When I specify an IPv6 address as my nameserver, resolution fails instantly and
a packet trace reveals no traffic.  For instance if I specify only:

nameserver 2002:CFAC:5504:2::0

in /etc/resolv.conf, no queries go out.  Not sure if this is a glibc 
compile-time option to disable this feature, but I'm pretty sure that glibc has 
supported IPv6 transport on resolution since version 2.2.  Using the dig 
command 
directly (with the -6 option) of course allows me to use IPv6 as transport, so 
I 
know v6 routing and other config is set up right.

I have tried this with both 'options inet6' on and off.  Let me know if I can
provide any more information.
