[Kong 1.1.1] [k8s][IPv6][Cassandra db] How to configure Kong 1.1.1 to contact Cassandra via IPv6

I have Kong 1.1.1 installed in IPv6 only k8s cluster in a namespace ckng. I have also Cassandra installed (cassandra-3.11.6) in a separate namespace ccas. I cannot start kong because I’m receiving the following error:

2020/04/05 12:45:14 [error] could not resolve Cassandra contact point 'ccas-ccas-apache.csfapiexp-ccas.svc.cluster.local': failed to create a resolver: failed to set peer name: host or service not provided, or not known
Error: could not resolve any of the provided Cassandra contact points (cassandra_contact_points = 'ccas-ccas-apache.csfapiexp-ccas.svc.cluster.local')

Debug version:

bash-4.2$ kong start --vv

Please note that getent can find the proper IP for cassandra service name:

bash-4.2$ getent hosts ccas-ccas-apache.csfapiexp-ccas.svc.cluster.local
2001:283:4000:2001::5167 ccas-ccas-apache.csfapiexp-ccas.svc.cluster.local
bash-4.2$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver fc00::13
search csfapiexp-ccas.svc.cluster.local csfapiexp-ckng.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local bcmt.cluster.local
options ndots:5

I cannot find any Kong documentation that desribes how to configure configure Kong 1.1.x to support IPv6 connections to Cassandra db. Please help.

I appreciate any suggestions,
