I wonder how I can get the Solaris 8 tools to do proper DNS queries with
AAAA records:

	rfhs8036$ ping -A inet6 noon.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de
	ping: unknown IPv6 host noon.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de

but:

	rfhs8036$ nslookup -qt=aaaa noon.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de
	Server:  smaug.fh-regensburg.de
	Address:  194.95.108.11

	noon.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de      canonical name =
	netbsd.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de
	netbsd.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de    IPv6 address = 3ffe:400:430:1::1
	ipv6.fh-regensburg.de   nameserver = localhost
	ipv6.fh-regensburg.de   nameserver = rfhpc8321.fh-regensburg.de
	rfhpc8321.fh-regensburg.de      internet address = 194.95.108.79

It works fine to telnet NetBSD->Solaris8 and back if I use numerical
addresses, but this should work somehow. /etc/nsswitch.conf has:

	hosts:      files dns

snooping on the line, it seems that if I use "ping noon" at least some DNS
query is made (but the answer isn't understood?), but if I use "ping
-Ainet6" not even a DNS query is made. 

Any quick clues?
