You are using "host" with binary labels, but your DNS is configured
for nibble labels (and that's the good choice!).

Add the -n option to host. Which will use nibble labels, but
.ip6.int. Sigh. All you can do is type the thing by hand (helped by
the error message):

master@tofu:~/topaz/topaz/etc$ host -n  fec0:0:0:1::2 
Host 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.c.e.f.ip6.int not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
master@tofu:~/topaz/topaz/etc$ host -n  2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.c.e.f.ip6.arpa

I suggest you use both ip6.int and ip6.arpa in your DNS server, as a
transition measure, until the client tools get fixed.
