There is no way to resolve www.google.com from an *IPv6 only* network,
as the white-listing part only relates to the records returned for "www",
not to the DNS chain.
$ dig www.google.com aaaa
www.google.com. 16h24m58s IN CNAME www.l.google.com.
www.l.google.com. 2m32s IN AAAA 2001:4860:a003::68
$ dig google.com ns

google.com. 1d7h32m35s IN NS ns4.google.com.
google.com. 1d7h32m35s IN NS ns2.google.com.
google.com. 1d7h32m35s IN NS ns3.google.com.
google.com. 1d7h32m35s IN NS ns1.google.com.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns3.google.com. 3d16h25m43s IN A 216.239.36.10
ns1.google.com. 1d23h52m27s IN A 216.239.32.10
ns2.google.com. 1d23h52m27s IN A 216.239.34.10
ns4.google.com. 1d23h52m27s IN A 216.239.38.10
(And yes, I know that this is a hard problem to change, and that a
fully IPv6-only network that doesn't have a v4 fallback DNS won't go
very far today - but this is one of the steps that eventually need to
be done as well)
