ISC has implemented this in at least 9.3.2 and 9.3.2-P1:
Sep 6 04:01:09 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: D.F.IP6.ARPA
Sep 6 04:01:09 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: 8.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Sep 6 04:01:09 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: 9.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Sep 6 04:01:09 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: A.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Sep 6 04:01:09 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: B.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Sep 6 05:01:16 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Sep 6 05:01:16 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: 254.169.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Sep 6 05:01:16 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone: 2.0.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Sep 6 05:01:16 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone:
255.255.255.255.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Sep 6 05:01:16 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone:
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA
Sep 6 05:01:16 shim named[13388]: automatic empty zone:
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA
...
which seems just a bit preumptious ...
the existence of these "empty" zones does have interesting
behaviour for resolvers that use a server where such zones
are created.
are these prefixes properly accounted for, with delegation
authority by either the IANA or any of the RIRS to your knowledge?
Does the IETF even have the authority to make address/prefix
delegations?
the answer is no, to all questions, to my understanding.
and so I have to rip out this code from the ISC distribution.
