I'm not familiar with Freenet6 in particular, but the general
procedure is:
(A) Set up authorative name servers for the zone in question. For
example, for my prefix 2001:600:101f::/48, that is
f.1.0.1.0.0.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.{arpa,int}. Reverse the octets of the FULL
IPv6 prefix, insert one dot between each, append "ip6.arpa" and
"ip6.int", and set up those two zones. Then add the appropriate
records to there. (Just keep on reversing the full address and add
PTR records at the 32nd level.)
(B) Ask your ISP (Freenet6 in this case) to delegate authority for the
reverse namespace in question to your servers.
After that, and waiting a little while for things to settle down, you
are in charge of your reverse DNS. Note that a lot of systems that
make use of reverse DNS also check to make sure that the forward DNS
matches the reverse, so you cannot just invent a name.
