Yes, they do, but if I point /etc/resolv.conf at an IPv6 DNS server
(my BIND 9.0.1 on my Solaris 8 box), all name resolution
fails.  It's one thing to grok IPv6 addresses (good), but
another to be able to use IPv6.  I understand that 2.8 is
fully functional in this regard?  We're trying to build native IPv6
networks, and I don't want to move my router to NetBSD :)
