[6bone] ip6.int or ip6.arpa or BOTH?

John,
At RIPE42 (the last meeting) it was proposed to start delegating in
ip6.arpa (and keeping ip6.int for backwards compatibility) for each new
request made after the 1st of July. The .int variant is supposed to be
deprecated by RFC3152, but still widely used in the field for both 3ffe
and 2001 networks.
I remember having checked up on some of my own 2001 allocations a couple
of months ago, and was quite sure that there was no .arpa delegation for
me. Some weeks ago it mysteriously appeared. It's somewhere on my
wishlist to create both delegations (ip6.int and ip6.arpa) by generating
the one from the other, like Kim said.
Debian also had a 'messup' a year ago when they suddonly decided to only
resolve in .arpa, rendering Debian boxes without a reversed resolver for
a while. They reverted to .int resolving due to complaints from the
field ( ;-) ).
I think it is time to start resolving .arpa zonefiles. I'd advise you to
simply keep both and use something along the lines of what Kim has
proposed (the Makefile).

| OK. That's how I've been doing things thus far. Now, I find a new

| Isn't THAT special. It doesn't look like the ip6.arpa zone has been
