A few minor points to mention, i the Reverse DNS Considerations for  
IPv6 section:

- apart from Dave's mention of IRC as one application that mainly uses  
reverse DNS, one other I mentioned is eMail, with rDNS used in  
policies by mail admins

- "On the subject of if putting a period between each HEX character would
scale, Kostas said he had seen this happen in practice. Both speakers
agreed that this all comes down to cost."

I remember this conversation as a question I posed about whether a  
distributed rDNS large scale setup was used in practice by any  
Provider, using also Dynamic DNS updates and if this would scale. The  
audience co-speaker said that it would certainly scale since  
distribution is an essential DNS feature, but of course I also implied  
the operational costs involved and I guess we agreed.

Regards,

Kostas Zorbadelos
