have you tried to point upstream resolving to your provider's nameservers
rather than always asking the root-nameservers..?

try adding:

  ..
  forwarders {
    8.8.8.8;
    8.8.4.4;
  };
  ..

to the "options { ..}"-block in your /etc/bind/named.conf - which will
then ask the Google-DNS cluster for unknown/uncached RR.
You may also specify your provider's DNS IPs there to have an even shorter
round-trip for lookups.

i doubt that your problem is IPv6 related.
