My only experience is with bind8, bind9, and tinydns (from djbdns).
I've never used IPv6 for anything.  None of the networks that I deal
with use IPv6, period.  They don't even have the option.

I have to wonder what kind of home you live in, that requires local
IPv6.  Most homes are small enough that you can get by with the roughly
2^24 addresses available in the private IPv4 ranges (10/8, 192.168/16,
and 172.16/12).

So, my first pick would be tinydns, and forget about IPv6.  But I may
not be the best person to try to address whatever your needs are.
