I run my own DNS for my testbed. Is there a way I can point my nameserver to specifically go to your server for 1.0.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa? Something like the HINTS file for the root servers?
Sure, this lines in /etc/named.conf of BIND would help: # ORCHIDs zone "1.0.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa" IN { type slave; file "slaves/1.0.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa"; masters { 193.167.187.149; 2001:708:140:220::16; }; }; The PTR can be added manually: # /usr/local/sbin/hipconf add server rvs 2001:001a:2a72:f01c:d98e:311c:c76a:57c4 2001:708:140:220::16 3600 just to trigger the Base Exchange, then $ cat > nsupdate.txt server 2001:1a:2a72:f01c:d98e:311c:c76a:57c4 local 2001:1e:574e:2505:264a:b360:d8cc:1d75 update delete 5.7.d.1.c.c.8.d.0.6.3.b.a.4.6.2.5.0.5.2.e.4.7.5.e.1.0.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.

I would have to allow recursion for it, I think?
No, you only need recursion allowed to your local network. You should not actually get any queries for this zone from outside.
