I think the bug is that host and dig fail to read the scope on the link-local address. (This is a bug in the BIND lwres resolv.conf parser which dig and host use.) > Is it ok, to assign link-local-addresses in /etc/resolv.conf? I think most libc resolvers handle them correctly. Your milage will obviously vary with other code. For example, ldns also fails to handle scoped IPv6 addresses.
