Following the request from the community we investigated possibilities to provide a pragmatic technical solution for reverse DNS delegation under ip6.arpa, for the space allocated for 6bone purposes (3ffe). It was understood that the request was to provide a solution before a final decision is made on the future management of the 3ffe address space.
This issue was discussed between the RIRs at the IETF-55 meeting. As a result the RIRs have forwarded the request to place the 3ffe space in the ip6.arpa zone to the IAB, seeing that it would be an action that is contrary to RFC 3152. If the request is honoured we will be able to present a proposal for your review.
I really didnt see any express referral to "6bone space" on RFC 3152. Should i assume there are parts of older RFCs that do have those referrals, and RFC 3152 doesnt obsolete it? The only expression i've read was "IPv6 space". This issue is still a serious barrier in v6 development in my own view. I've been looking at the BGP4+ data for the last months (since august) and 3ffe prefixes are not "going away"... i had 172 entries in the 1st of August and four months later i get 169.
