I think he wants his named to be able to send and receive queries/responses
using v6 datagrams.  Named does a number of things in its use of the TCP/IP
stack that are specific to the underlying protocol.  For instance, it binds
UDP sockets to each of the IP addresses of the host, and would need to use
different calls to bind to each of the v6 addresses.
