Hi,
Quoting RTF4159:

Deprecation of "ip6.int" =

=2E..
1. IPv6 Standards Action =
=20
=
=20
In August 2001 the IETF published [RFC3152], which advised that the =
=20
use of "ip6.int" as the domain for reverse-mapping of IPv6 addresses =
=20
to DNS names was deprecated. The document noted that the use of =
=20
"ip6.int" would be phased out in an orderly fashion. =
=20
=
=20
As of 1 September 2005, the IETF advises the community that the DNS =
=20
domain "ip6.int" should no longer be used to perform reverse mapping =
=20
of IPv6 addresses to domain names, and that the domain "ip6.arpa" =
=20
should be used henceforth, in accordance with the IANA Considerations =
=20
described in [RFC3596]. The domain "ip6.int" is deprecated, and its =
=20
use in IPv6 implementations that conform to the IPv6 Internet =
=20
Standards is discontinued. =
=20

FreeBSD is going to remove the ip6.int localhost example from their shipped
named.conf, should we do the same?
I don't know what ISC is going to do about this.
