Yeah I know - was just using it to show that windows did have valid ipv6 and its tools were working.

So when will the code be updated?

We need to update the windows code that retrieves the list of name
server addresses from the system from GetNetworkParams to
GetAdaptersAddresses based on a little Googling.

* GetNetworkParams only returns the IPv4 addresses.
* GetAdaptersAddresses returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
  depending upon the calling arguments.

Populating resolv.conf with the nameserver address rather that
reading them from the system with GetNetworkParams/GetAdaptersAddresses
will let 'dig -6' work.  This does have the obvious limitation that
the contents are likely to get out of date as the OS will not be
updating it.

'dig -6 @<servername>' works regardless of the method used to
populate the default server list.

e.g.
        dig -6 @f.root-servers.net soa .

Note: the nslookup above is Microsoft's version not BIND's.
