OK, I'll jump in, ignoring the rest of the thread.

nslookup, dig and host do not use the same resolver as regular libc
based applications do. Try "ping" or "telnet" and see if it figures the
IP out.

When using xinetd, which version are you using? Does upgrading the
client to xinetd 2.3.12 or xinetd CVS help? Older xinetd versions are
nasty (read: non-functional) when IPv6 stacks are involved, even when
IPv6 is not in use. For instance, my in.ntalkd and amanda would not
work.
