res_send and Ipv6 address

[Stefan Puiu]

I fail to understand what you want to do. If you want to fetch the
IPv6 address for a domain name, you just need to do an AAAA query
instead of A. The ext part in the resolver state, IIRC, is used to
store IPv6 addresses of nameservers, but you shouldn't worry about
that; the nsaddr[] vector is read in from /etc/resolve.conf, see
lib/resolv/res_init.c in the BIND 8 source, or look for the res_init()
function (I can't seem to remember the name of the actual function it
calls to do the work, was it res_vinit?).
