In v4-land, it is common to use automatically generated PTR for
transient addresses.
in v6-land, with 6to4, a single IPv4 transient address will generate a
/48 prefix, that is
2^80 addresses. I doubt it is a good idea to generate that many records!
Note: there is a similar issue with plain, non-6to4, transient prefixes.
My draft suggest to use wildcard PTR records. Does it makes sense?
