the ipv6 address that is passed to dns server is surrounded by brackets
[address], which i think is not a valid formatted dns name.  even if you
leave the brackets out, the ipv6 address does not look like a domain
name to me.

perhaps i'm wrong and domain names now can nowadays contain [, ], and :
chars?
