Hi Lawrence, I can't give you answers to all your questions, but to tell a (linux/unix) host which DNS server to use, you would enter the ipv6 address in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
And then i doesn't matter if the DNS server is on a different subnet, as long as you can route traffic to that subnet. I hope that this will help a little bit.
