All good questions.

There are some relatively easy ways to generate reverse/forward mappings 
from patterns for IPv6 space - so you don't ever do much - just map the 
IPv6 space onto something else:

eg.  2001:44b8:60:c000:e854:16a4:da3:c001 becomes 
c000e85416a4da3c001.user.internode.on.net etc.

(I thought BIND had support for this, but looking through the manual I 
can't really find something similar to what I thought a combination of 
$GENERATE and wildcard might work)

DDNS is one option - but what does one set it to?  Most customers 
wouldn't like <hex digits>.username.internode.on.net as the default 
forward/reverse as they're paranoid about people not knowing who they 
are.   The security implications and complexity of allowing customers to 
set it via some protocol hurts the head a bit.

I don't really think doing per user delegation of IPv6 reverse mappings 
is sane either - which gets back to the whole thing of IPv6 space - 
static or not for most customers etc.
