Why not run your own nameserver if it is your website assuming you own the domain?

Out of curiosity, what are the options you need to use to properly enable bind for IPv6? To me it appears there isn't that much to it, it almost works out of the box with 1 or 2 things turned on. Then you just add the appropriate zone files or records. Am I missing something blatantly obvious that will break it?

dig -6 +trace is our friend here.

How would you apply this command to determine correct IPv6 resolving?

Thanks,
