How do I lookup an ipv6 address using the host command?

       -t type
           Query type: The type argument can be any recognized query type:
           CNAME, NS, SOA, TXT, DNSKEY, AXFR, etc.

           When no query type is specified, host automatically selects an
           appropriate query type. By default, it looks for A, AAAA, and MX
           records. If the -C option is given, queries will be made for SOA
           records. If name is a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or
           colon-delimited IPv6 address, host will query for PTR records.

           If a query type of IXFR is chosen the starting serial number can be
           specified by appending an equal followed by the starting serial
           number (like -t IXFR=12345678).
