wasn't there an issue with bind8 marking names, instead of addresses, as
bad/stale/unreachable ? so if a host has local v6 connectivity (e.g.
link-local) but cannot reach the global v6 Internet, all A/AAAA
nameservers would be considered bad since their v6 addresses wouldn't be
reachable.

I really hope I got this wrong, but I want find out before I put all my
NSes on v6 and suddenly find my self unresolvable.
