The other thing is you can trim off the extra 0's from the IPv6 reverse entries, our named server seems to be doing that automatically, other than that it should be fine though you might be better off with smaller zone files specific to /64's though that is really up to you.<br>

<br>
Why do you have CNAME, MX and especially an A RR in a reverse file? It's for mapping an IP address to a name.<br>
