% You cannot avoid that. Having the same delegations on
% sub-e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa level does not guarantee that the eventual
% answers are the same, since the nameserver to which it's finally
% delgated can have different zones for ....ip6.arpa and ...ip6.int. And

	actually, you can. using -ONE- zone file with two $ORIGIN
	statements will ensure that e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa is identical
	to e.f.f.3.ip6.int.

% Then why has't this been done long ago?

	the RIRs refused to allow it.
