It would appear that your route isn't functional -- either that, or
hexago.com doesn't reply to pings.
Try whether a traceroute6 towards hexago.com works; if it does, hexago
doesn't reply to ping. If it doesn't, you'll know where it fails.

That's correct.

Because IPv6 uses the same DNS servers as IPv4, just different RRs. An
IPv4 address is put in the DNS by using an RR of type A; for IPv6, the
type used is AAAA. You can have more than one RR for a single server;
you could have some A records for IPv4, and some AAAA ones for IPv6.

Your regular IPv4 DNS server should work.

If you want to publish your IPv6 addresses, then yes, you should use a
DNS server that is capable of storing IPv6 RRs, such as Bind9.
