Any chance of adding support for PTR records?

I've created a zone for our servers IPv6 address block, however I can't add any PTR records. I'm mostly happy with Linode DNS apart from this one minor issue, it would be nice to get support for PTR records so I don't have to run a DNS server just for this one specific zone.

Yep. People tend to run their own nameservers just for this. (You can even have Linode slave.)

The way I did IPv6 reverse was by using nsd (so lightweight it's obscene). I didn't try having Linode slave them, and the traffic for reverse queries on those IPs is quite light.

I've been able to infer a little of how Linode's scripts there work, like I can't do dynamic.mydomain.com as a separate slave zone on Linode, presumably to stop someone else from adding www.mydomain.com as another zone in a DNS poisoning attack.

Does Linode special case its handling of ip6.arpa for this, so someone can't just grab ip6.arpa?

E: Hey, look at that. Linode's name servers do the AXFR for my /48. :)

It never ceases to amuse me how hilariously long those names are.
