DNS not working on IPv6

I am trying to get an IPv6 Bind DNS server running on RedHat ES4 Bind version bind-9.2.4-37.el4, but am having mixed results. I can get named to run correctly and I see named listening on my IPv6 address, I can even do a dig to the IPv6 local host address and it returns results.

I cant however get any dig results if I query against the IPv6 address it times out and doesn't return any results. I have tired from both my configured DNS server and another client running IPv6.

My configs and output are below if anyone can point out why this server isnt answering when I query against its IPv6 address I would appreciate it.

ifconfig

################
inet6 addr: fe80::206:5bff:feb5:71ce/64 Scope:Link
################

/etc/named.conf

################
options {
directory "/var/named";
version "Authorized users only!";
listen-on-v6 {any;};
################

host file I am serving up

/var/named/v6.amtelecom.net

##################
bender IN AAAA fe80::206:5bff:feb5:71ce
thor IN AAAA fe80::206:5bff:feb5:71ce

I can ping the IPv6 address on the server and it responds

####################
ping6 -I eth0 fe80::206:5bff:feb5:71ce
PING fe80::206:5bff:feb5:71ce(fe80::206:5bff:feb5:71ce) from fe80::206:5bff:fe8f:f4d3 eth0: 56 data bytes

I can see that the server is listening on the correct ports

From the server I can do a dig to the loopback address

#########################
dig ::1 bender.v6.amtelecom.net -taaaa
; QUESTION SECTION:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
v6.amtelecom.net. 86400 IN NS bender.v6.amtelecom.net.

A dig to the actual address just times out

Ip6tables is currently turned off as well, I am stumped on this one, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
