   HI all,   
      
   I have noticed some weird beaviour with the resolver of ping6.   
      
   If I type the following command:   
      
   dig AAAA azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au   
      
   I get back a valid IPv6 address   
      
   if I use ping6 to ping that address I get a valid response   
      
   but if I do the following:   
      
   ping6 azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au   
      
   I get the message "No address associated with nodename"   
      
   and when I "echo $?" it returns EPERM.   
      
   I am using   
   Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1: Wed Oct 10 18:23:28 PDT 2007;   
   root:xnu-792.25.20~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386   
      
      
   Anyone know what is going on here?  I have look though the ping6 MAN   
   page and checked on web and it the syntax looks valid AFAIK.
