If you want to use IPv6 transport for DNS lookups and your resolver doesn't support it, then I might have a solution for you. At http://www.venaas.no/dns/bind/ you can find a patch for the BIND 8.2.3 resolver that makes it use IPv6 transport. You can then put IPv6 addresses for nameservers in resolv.conf and link programs with the 8.2.3 resolver (-lbind) rather than your current resolver libs. Note that at least BSDs with KAME and Linux with glibc 2.1.92 or newer (including RedHat 7) already got resolvers that can do this. You could also use the lightweight resolver that comes with BIND 9 perhaps, I haven't had a look at that yet. Actually the easiest solution is probably to run BIND9 locally and let your current resolver use IPv4 to localhost. So I'm not sure how useful the patch is, have a look at it if you think it's of use to you.
