If this is IBM supported Linux and you are a sizeable AIX shop you might try
asking them for a port of the AIX version of NS Lookup or, in the unlikely
event they will let you have it, the code to roll your own.  Failing that,
good luck with finding a suitable version of NSlookup code to achieve the
same ends - sounds like that is your only way forwards...

That sounds oh so familiar recently.  You want to try convincing big
business & government organisations that, yes, they really ought to be
thinking about IPv6 *now*, and not when they need to connect to someone who
could only get IPv6 addresses...  Too many ostriches in ICT at the
moment....
