Hi

It seems nsupdate.exe in 9.6.1-P1 does not properly locate IPv6 nameservers.

C:\Temp\bind-9.6.1-P1>dig +short ns-v6-1.chaz6.com. in aaaa
2001:16d8:dd22:38::2
2001:16d8:ee0f:38::2

C:\Temp\bind-9.6.1-P1>nsupdate
 > server 2001:16d8:dd22:38::2
 > update add localhost.dyn.ipv6.chaz6.com. 7200 IN AAAA ::
 >
 > quit

C:\Temp\bind-9.6.1-P1>nsupdate
 > update delete localhost.dyn.ipv6.chaz6.com.
 >
couldn't get address for 'ns-v6-1.chaz6.com': not found

The same works fine from Linux:-

$ rpmquery --whatprovides `which nsupdate`
bind-utils-9.6.1P1-4.1.i586
$ nsupdate
 > update add localhost.dyn.ipv6.chaz6.com. 7200 IN AAAA ::1
 >
 > update delete localhost.dyn.ipv6.chaz6.com.
 >
 > quit

Regards,

Chris

P.S. Is there a proper bug reporting address? I could not find it on the 
website.
