I've been playing with IPv6 stuff recently and one of my questions is what
the hell client-side DNS names are going to look like.

How are people rolling forward/reverse DNS in the sparsely-used IPv6 world?
I am completely ignorant about this and pre-occupied elsewhere, so I accept
the possibility that its been solved in the operational world. :)

* Some kind of dhcp/ddns based name update scheme?
* Just ignore it?
* Just "faking" DNS zones - ie, a hacked up server which will return v6 records
  for names based on translation rules, eg a.b.c.d-dynamic.isp.com <-> a.b.c.d ?
