I have a domain (hosted with he.net) that I've been using for a long time with MX
records pointing at Google Hosting.
I've set up an AAAA record for a host (ipv6.port111.com) and all is fine.
When I add an MX for ipv6.port111.com, it fails to show up in dig. Do I need
to delegate a domain ? Can I do this in the context of the he.net zoneedit
tool ?
Thanks,

How long did you let it propagate?

HE seems to know about it too

It was indeed impatience that was the problem :-).
Currently trying to figure out where to point AAAA/NS records (e.g. ns1.he.net's v6 equivilant) ... no wait....
dig is your friend:
dig ns1.ipv6.he.net any
; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> ns1.ipv6.he.net any
;; global options: +cmd
