You tell named to listen on IPv6 (listen-on-v6).  It already uses IPv6
to make queries unless you turned it off on the command line with "named -4".
To go IPv6 only on a dual stack machine use "named -6".
You add AAAA records to the zones for the nameservers.
You update your glue records in the parent zone to include AAAA records
as well as A records.
You add IPv6 address to resolv.conf or equivalent (DHCPv6, the new RA option).

You can mark non-local ula's as bogus and your one local ulas as good in
named.conf.

servers fc00::/7 {
        bogus yes;
};
servers fdxx:xxxx:xxxx::/48 {
        bogus no;
};

If you are only using IPv6 internally

servers ::/0 {
        bogus yes;
};
servers <internal-range> {
        bogus no;
};

You should also be doing this at the routing level.
