Thank  you for the info. I did not know that little tidbit.

I've got my first IPv6 DNS, mail, web etc server up and running now, and 
before I think about migrating the actual production network, I want to 
perform some extensive testing, all the while being familiar with the 
framework of the resolver itself, and how to overcome particular 
DNS/connectivity issues (if possible).

ie: I want to learn more about how DNS and IP react in the event I lose 
my IPv6 BGP peers (or IPv4 peers), and also write in some debug log 
writing into the resolver if certain events trigger.
