Ah, now I understand the lack of docs :)
Should it really uses the same nibbles as the ip6.int zone? Bitstrings
seemed a lot more practical to me.

I now just copied my ip6.int zone and changed everything to ip6.arpa.
This seems to work! I'm wondering though, is the ip6.int zone really
still necessairy? My ISP only seems to support the ip6.arpa zone
(although I haven't got that working yet either).

Thanks again,
Julius
