% Assuming your zone loaded properly, it looks like your problem is the way
% you used the dig command.  Take a look at the question formed from the
% command you entered.  It created a lookup for an 'A' record-- not the 'PTR'
% record you wanted to look up.  The correct syntax would be 'dig @servername
% -x 3ffe:80e8:120::1'

dig won't work that way for IPv6.  you have to do it this way (feature
enhancement request has already been submitted to Nominum...:)

dig @servername 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.1.0.8.e.0.8.e.f.f.3.ip6.int.

fun eh?
