Hi there,

Thank you for reporting bugs and trying to make Ubuntu better.

The manpage in the --system-dns section mentions the following:

"--system-dns (Use system DNS resolver) .
[........................................................] The system
           resolver is always used for IPv6 scans."

Please, correct me if I'm wrong but this leads me to believe that in fact, when using IPv6 resolvers the "--system-dns" parameter should be specified. I'm marking this bug report as incomplete for now. If you have further information or you believe that this is not the case, please provide further information to help us determine the issue more in depth.

Please also note that when doing IPv6 scanning you should use the "-6" parameter. see [1] and the manpage for more information.
