% Hello
% 
% It's a piece of cake to setup zone for ipv6...but i got really confused
% with the reverse, practicing by the manual presented at 6bone.net... I
% have 2001:600:4:80cf::/64 delegation and i need to set the reverse. If
% someone could help me set this zone up, both the zone declaration in
% named.conf and the zone file itself i'd be grateful and give a beer away
% for that person
% 
% Thanks!!

Like so:  (from http://www.6bone.net/6bone_hookup.html  & http://www.isi.edu/~sekiya/IPv6/DNS.html )
and granted, the documentation is not particularly clear.
	---------------------------------------------

In your named.conf:

//
//
zone "f.c.0.8.4.0.0.0.0.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int"        {
                type master;
                file "2001:0600:0004.80cf";
};

and then in your zone file "2001:0600:0004.80cf"
you have:

; File: 3ffe:0600:0004:80cf
; For the 6Bone pTLA
;
