Some pseudo-random questions -

The DNS server also has an IPv6 address and the DNS server software is listening on it?

You are able to ping the DNS server's IPv6 address?

What is in your /etc/resolv.conf file for the nameserver(s)?

/etc/resolv.conf --- ipv6 dns server address

etc/nsswitch.conf hosts=dns files

So, name resolution is working ok. It is just nslookup which has troubles. I would suggest two things - first, peruse the patch hub for nslookup patches. Second, take a tusc system call trace of nslookup and that may show where it is going wrong.
