For me it's "yes" and "yes", but I doubt I am normal in that respect.
I've used IPv6 in a few different environments, and have never seen
a working
reverse when stateless auto-configuration is used. Isn't it weird
to recommend
people implement a practice that is rare (or non-existent)?
I think it's rare because the tools don't make it easy to do the
right thing. Perhaps some organisation with experience with the DNS
should write some patches to rtsold :-)
I think perhaps the situation is different in environments where
Microsoft's Active Directory is in use? I have next to no experience
of AD, but I was under the impression that krb5-authenticated dynamic
updates of the forward and reverse zones by clients was part of the
package.
If the client is equipped with authorisation credentials to make
updates and is capable of signalling (name, address) bindings on its
own, then I guess it doesn't matter whether you get your v6 addresses
through stateless auto-config, or dhcp6, or something else.
