Example:

You're ISP holds a domain ispx.tld, and is assigned a prefix 1234:5600::/24.  
Your site, sitex.tld, is given IPv6 prefix 1234:5678:9abc::/48.  Here's the 
relevant part of the ispx.tld zone:

$ORIGIN ispx.tld.
@ IN SOA ...
ipv6    IN A6   0 1234:5600::
sitex   IN A6   24 0:0:78:9abc:: ipv6

And sitex.tld's zone:

$ORIGIN sitex.tld.
@ IN SOA ...
ipv6            IN A6   48 0::0 sitex.ispx.tld. ; optional
subnet1 IN A6   48 0:0:0:1:: ipv6               ; or, replace ipv6 with sitex.ispx.tld.
host1           IN A6   64 ::2a0:80ff:fed5:55a9 subnet1

Where the format for an A6 record is as follows:

<domain>        IN A6   <prefixlen> <suffix> <prefix-domain>

<prefixlen> is the prefix len of <prefix-domain>'s IPv6 address, not of 
<domain>'s IPv6 address.  <suffix> is appended to <prefix-domain>'s IPv6 
address to form <domain>'s IPv6 address.

In the above example, the following would be assigned:

ipv6.ispx.tld has 1234:5600::
sitex.ispx.tld has 1234:5678:9abc::
subnet1.sitex.tld has 1234:5678:9abc:1::
host1.sitex.tld has 1234:5678:9abc:1:2a0:80ff:fed5:55a9

There is also a much more complex example in rfc2874 [www: 
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2874.txt ], beginning with section 5.1.
