Bug Description

ping6 doesn't seem to follow the name resolution path properly.

neil@acer-aspire-5536:~$ avahi-resolve -6 -n lenovo-3000-n100.local
lenovo-3000-n100.local fe80::21b:77ff:fe6e:1835

neil@acer-aspire-5536:~$ ping6 lenovo-3000-n100.local
unknown host

I get a similar issue with public IPv6 addresses, and with the standard avahi config on Ubuntu.
