Hi everyone,

I'm currently setting up reverse DNS for IPv6 using PowerDNS and could use some assistance with a specific configuration issue I'm facing.

I've successfully created the reverse DNS zone and added a PTR record, but something seems off with the resolution. Here’s an overview of my setup:

Domains Table:​

+----+--------------------------------------+--------+------------+--------+-----------------+---------+
| id | name | master | last_check | type | notified_serial | account |
+----+--------------------------------------+--------+------------+--------+-----------------+---------+
| 1 | example1.com | NULL | NULL | master | 2024091304 | NULL |
| 2 | example2.com | NULL | NULL | master | 2024091304 | NULL |
| 10 | e.f.0.0.1.8.6.6.f.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa | NULL | 1726570929 | NATIVE | NULL | NULL |
+----+--------------------------------------+--------+------------+--------+-----------------+---------+

PTR Record Insert Query:​

INSERT INTO records (domain_id, name, type, content, ttl, prio, change_date)
VALUES (
10, -- Reverse DNS zone domain_id
'2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.f.e.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.6.f.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa',
'PTR',
'host.example2.com',
3600,
NULL,
UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
);



SELECT * FROM records WHERE type="PTR";
+-----+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+------+-------------------+------+------+
| id | domain_id | name | type | content | ttl | prio |
+-----+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+------+-------------------+------+------+
| 469 | 10 | 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.f.e.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.6.f.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa | PTR | host.example2.com | 3600 | NULL |
+-----+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+------+-------------------+------+------+



I've double-checked the zone and PTR record, but when I perform a reverse lookup for the IPv6 address, it's not resolving as expected. Any ideas on what could be wrong or missing in my configuration?
 
I think you asked the same question at serverfault and got an answer there.
If not, or for people interested, this is the link:

Thank you!

I've updated the record, but the issue persists. It might be a delegation problem, or perhaps I just need to wait for propagation.
