That sure looks like an IPv4 in-addr.arpa zone to me.

I think we're going to wind up with something like this:

zone "0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int" {
        type master;
        file "ipv6/0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int";
};

zone "0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "ipv6/0.f.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa";
};



I'm just wondering folks.  Since we have perfectly good ip6.int, why do we
even WANT/NEED ip6.arpa?

Also, I didn't quite follow Kims example but, does anyone have a tool that
can be used to generate one zone type from another?  Note: I ALSO use
$ORIGIN lines in my zone files.
