In IPv4, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) commonly provide
IN-ADDR.ARPA information for their customers by prepopulating the zone
with one PTR record for every available address. This practice does
not scale in IPv6. This document analyzes different approaches and
considerations for ISPs in managing the IP6.ARPA zone.
