What prefix under ip6.arpa to populate depends upon the DHCPv6 PD
value(s). If we are a listed master, then we may need to do something
in DHCP to let the ISP know where our zone is (and if we have one).
If we are an unlisted master, then we may need to configure ACLs for the
listed masters to zone transfer from us, so we need DHCP to tell us.
If we are going to do DNS update, then we need in DHCP to find out where
to update to, and to establish keying material.

Your ISP has to be your DSP for ip6.arpa and a sub-domain of isp.example.net.
For your own FQDN, it's whatever you want, and that's why I listed
"manually". The no NS record points at CER itself is the unlisted
master case.
