Um, I think you are missing the point here.

By 'register a v6 dns server' I mean not the technical capability to
set one up.  I already have this:

todd:26$ host -t any ns6.fries.net 3ffe:b00:4004:1::1:6| egrep -v "mail|Trunc >
Using domain server:
Name: 3ffe:b00:4004:1::1:6
Address: 3ffe:b00:4004:1::1:6#53
Aliases: 

ns6.fries.net. has AAAA address 3ffe:b00:4004:1::1:6
ns6.fries.net. host information "IPv6 only" "bind9"
ns6.fries.net. text "ns6.fries.net NS?????-HST (host handle)"
ns6.fries.net. text "how do I get internic to register an ipv6 dns server?"
todd:27$ 

... and I have had this setup for quite some time.

What I am suggesting is that internic will not allow me to register a
v6 dns server for the domain fries.net in their database which then
allows me to see this server in the following output:

todd:27$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net fries.net

todd:28$ 

As of this moment, to my understanding, they only allow 'A' records not
'AAAA' records in the toplevel domain name servers.
