   Sorry I should have makde myself clearer.  azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au is   
   not a real domain it is something that I have set up on my personal   
   network to test IPv6 code that I have been studying.  It will not work   
   on the greater internet.  This is the result that I get:   
      
    <<>> DiG 9.3.5-P2 <<>> AAAA azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au

   The problem is that if I do the following:   
      
   ing6 fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf   
   PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::216:cbff:feb3:87cf%en1 -->

   I don't have a problem. but if I do this:   
      
   $ ping6  azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au   
   ping6: No address associated with nodename   
   $ echo $?   
   1
