>Description:
	Yes, I know it's in manual BUGS section, but isn't it stupid ?
	Following that NetBSD was 1st free os that support IPv6 and 
	even such utility like host doesn't support it ?
	I've run now IPv6 only NetBSD box and ? it seems that I have
	to install bind9 just for ipv6 support in host utility ..
	I don't like it..
>How-To-Repeat:
	echo "nameserver 3ffe:8210:f000::!" > /etc/resolv.conf
	host www.netbsd.org
>Fix:
	Import bind9 into main source tree ?
	Or import just host utility ?
