Bind 9.2.3 and ipv6

  Didn't you want the following?

  1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.5.e.7.0.0.c.b.0.e.f.f.3.ip6.int

	(dig -i -x 3ffe:0bc0:07e5:0001:0000:0000:0000:0001)

  Also IP6.INT is deprecated.  Please use IP6.ARPA.  You can use a DNAME
  to supply answers to the legacy clients.

  e.g.
  5.e.7.0.0.c.b.0.e.f.f.3.ip6.int. SOA ...
  5.e.7.0.0.c.b.0.e.f.f.3.ip6.int. NS ...
  5.e.7.0.0.c.b.0.e.f.f.3.ip6.int. DNAME 5.e.7.0.0.c.b.0.e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa.
