I can get ip6.int reverse resolution without any problem.

I was referring to the new ip6.arpa reverse resolution which BIND v9 can
do, which has different features: such as delegation on any bit
boundaries, not just nibbles and the ability to share the same reverse
lookup zones between multiple prefixes.

See rfcs 2874, 2672, 2673.

It doesn't seem to have been set up yet.
