	of course we can.

	netbsd client - put IPv6 address into /etc/resolv.conf.
	random DNS servers - run BIND9.
	master/slave DNS server for a particular zone - 
		run BIND9.
		add AAAA record to the node pointed to by NS (like "ns.foo.com")
		ask upstream to add IPv6 address into their database, for
		glue records.
