i spent some time thinking about this problem.
the purpose of -6 is to force icmpv6. (one can use a v4 address
with icmpv6, that works due to ipv4 embedding.) this is not the same as
controlling name lookup. since there are better more flexible tools
for doing that by hand. the result can be fead to ip/ping.
it's kind of an ugly problem.
