Reverse IPv6 lookups with dynamic updates

[Steven LatrŽe]

Hello all,

I'm experiencing some extreme performance loss with a Corba application 
since I installed bind. The reason I installed bind was to speed up the 
application (there was some trouble with the dns server of my test 
network giving the wrong IP to the Corba naming server).
Now since the IPv6 addresses of my machines change often I'm using 
dynamic update (TSIG and the nsupdate tool) to register the DNS records 
in bind. For now, I'm only adding AAAA records. I'm guessing that the 
reason my Corba application slows down is because he can't perform a 
reverse lookup (I'm not sure that the Corba Naming Service does a 
reverse lookup but it's my best shot).

Now, I want to make sure that reverse lookups are also possible. Before 
installing bind I knew practically nothing about all this. I've done 
some searching on the web but can't really find an answer. So what I 
want to do is adding a simple PTR record (right?) to the DNS server with 
the nsupdate tool.
The only extra difficulty (I think) is that my IPv6 addresses can be 
realy everything, I don't have a predefined network id or something like 
that. However, in all the sites I found in google the tutorials mention 
that I need to define this somehow.

Can someone help me with this?
