I wasn't aware of IRC's requirement for PTRs. I'll have to ask some
others for background.
I'd be interested in learning what other things /require/ or are at
least predicated on having PTR records for IPs.
I absolutely agree that having PTR records, especially records that are
of some value, are a worth while thing to have.
That being said, I think expecting DNS servers to have fully populated
ip6.arpa zones is a non-starter. I don't even thing it makes it as far
as untenable as I think a fully populated zone will cause most things to
simply fall over flat on their face.
Perhaps this will end up being one of those unplanned differences
between IPv4 and IPv6.
