You'll see a lot of this.  I've done my own little tests on a few
friends' systems, and on public wifi, etc, establishing some sort of
IPv6 connectivity, and trying to resolve a subdomaiin of mine with a
IPv6 only DNS server.  Many ISP recursive NS don't have IPv6 transport
yet, so they choke getting to my NS.
