On IANA's site (http://www.iana.org/arpa-dom/ip6.htm) it says the
nameservers for ip6.arpa are:

     ns1.auth.iana.org. 192.0.34.126
     ns.apnic.net. 203.37.255.97
     svc00.apnic.net. 202.12.28.131
     arrowroot.arin.net. 198.133.199.110
     buchu.arin.net. 192.100.59.110
     ns.ripe.net. 193.0.0.193
     ns.eu.net. 192.16.202.11

Asking *.root-servers.net:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        NS.ICANN.ORG.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        NS.RIPE.NET.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        SVC00.APNIC.NET.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        ARROWROOT.ARIN.NET.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        BUCHU.ARIN.NET.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        NS.APNIC.NET.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
NS.ICANN.ORG.           2D IN A         192.0.34.126
NS.RIPE.NET.            2D IN A         193.0.0.193
NS.APNIC.NET.           2D IN A         203.37.255.97


Asking any of them returns:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        tinnie.arin.net.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        ns.ripe.net.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        ns.apnic.net.
ip6.arpa.               2D IN NS        ns.icann.org.

With varying additional section's.


Can anybody ellaborate on this a little?
