I tried to use an ipv6 nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. The manpage
claims it works, but has no examples to help get the syntax right.
Both the v6 bracketed name and non-bracketed name had similar failure
modes: many programs just started to hang.
nameserver 2001:05a8:0004:07d1::1
nameserver [2001:05a8:0004:07d1::1]
What is the correct syntax? (Or is the manpage just wrong and the
netbsd resolver just doesn't do ipv6 addresses?)

The above "From:" address is valid. Don't mess with it.
