For our IPv6 address space 2001:4870:20ca::/48, I created a reverse lookup zone
a.c.0.2.0.7.8.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa and arranged for delegation from our ISP. I
included PTR records only for those hosts accessible from the outside. Internal
DNS is Windows Active Directory integrated. Here's a sample from the zone file,
which contains about 25 PTR records in all:
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 3600 ; 1 hour
a.c.0.2.0.7.8.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa IN SOA ns1.countryday.net.
hostmaster.countryday.net. (
2012030101 ; serial
86400 ; refresh (1 day)
3600 ; retry (1 hour)
1209600 ; expire (2 weeks)
3600 ; minimum (1 hour)
)
NS ns1.countryday.net.
NS ns2.countryday.net.
$ORIGIN 9.0.0.0.a.c.0.2.0.7.8.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
a.5.6.9.f.9.e.4.3.4.3.e.f.a.0.8 PTR ns2.countryday.net.
$ORIGIN 8.5.1.0.a.c.0.2.0.7.8.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
2.9.1.f.1.d.2.1.b.f.7.5.7.f.8.0 PTR ns1.countryday.net.
I would also be interested in hearing about the practices of others. Jeff.
