Brian,

IPv6 reverse lookups are in a state of flux at the moment, while AAAA
records are being depreciated, and A6 and DNAME records moved to.

As such, there's 2 ways to do it :)

The old, easy way, using AAAA records and corresponding PTR records
in ip6.int, is just like "normal".  For example, here's my 
revsre zone file for 3ffe:8001:5::/48

more 5.0.0.0.1.0.0.8.e.f.f.3.ip6.int

$TTL    21600

@       IN      SOA    oversteer.bl.echidna.id.au. root.bl.echidna.id.au.  (
                                2001010601      ; Serial
                                86400           ; Refresh (1 day)
                                3600            ; Retry   (1 hour)
                                3600000         ; Expire  (1000 hours)
                                21600   )       ; Minimum (6 hours)
        IN      NS      oversteer.bl.echidna.id.au.
        IN      NS      woof.unicity.com.au.
;

7.b.8.4.1.1.e.f.f.f.0.2.0.0.2.0.0.d.e.0 IN PTR  oversteer.bl.echidna.id.au.

d.7.8.a.8.1.e.f.f.f.0.2.0.0.a.0.3.0.0.0 IN PTR  rollcage.bl.echidna.id.au.

And here's my BIND 9 config file entry for it :

zone "5.0.0.0.1.0.0.8.e.f.f.3.ip6.int." {
        type master;
        file "rev/5.0.0.0.1.0.0.8.e.f.f.3.ip6.int";
};


I haven't got a nice example of the new way to do it, but unless you're
running BIND 9, you can't do the A6/DNAME method anyway.  There's a 
nice bit of Cricket's latest DNS & BIND that explains it quite nicely
though.  It's designed to make renumbering a lot easier, but at some
more pain to initially set up.
