IPv6 hosts DNS resolving in the ROS' ping tool

Hello.
The ping tool supports domain “name<>IPv4” converting, but does’t want to ping IPv6 hosts, for example ipv6.google.com. But the IPv6 address of this domain pings successfully.
Requesting “name<>IPv6” in the ROS’ ping

Don’t know if this helps your issue but:
If your using the Winbox GUI ping it can’t be trusted. The gui ping try’s using the dns of the computer running winbox and not the routers dns and it’s inconsistent between versions of winbox. The only way to test dns reliably is to use the console ping.

/ping ipv6.google.com
failure: dns name exists, but no appropriate record

Similarly.
Windows’ GUI ping works properly.
