I don't see a > specific 6 Issue here. 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? - Alain.
