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the contents are likely to get out of date as the OS will not be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.
