Time to add IPv6 glue for your dual stack servers.

	With the addition of IPv6 to the root it is time to see if
	you have a IPv6 clear path to your zones.  A simple way to
	check is to run a recursive nameserver in IPv6 only mode
	and querying it.

	dig +bufsize=1200 ns . @a.root-servers.net > root-hints

	test.named.conf:
	options {
		listen-on-v6 { ::1; };
		allow-query { ::1; };
	};

	zone "." {
		type hint;
		file "root-hints";
	};

	named -6 -c test.named.conf

	dig @::1 soa <zone>

	Mark
