Windows 2003 DNS server's IPv6 support

>From my initial testing it looks like Windows 2003's DNS server listens on
an IPv6 address, but won't initiate requests to the root servers, etc on
IPv6.  When I did a v6 dig from a *nix box while doing a packet capture on
the Windows 2003 server, I saw the UDP request for onlyv6.com, but the DNS
server's queries to the root server for the NS records and all subsequent
queries were v4.  The result was "no servers could be reached".

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?  Is that resolved in Windows 2008?
