Instead of handpicking names or letting people insert data into your DNS servers, some people are deploying PowerDNS with custom backends for this that either convert the IPv6 address into a 128bit hex number, optionally stripping the first 64 bits and replacing that with 'autogen' or 'wlan-' or similar. Something else that I have seen is that the backend randomly picks a name from a dictionary and then assigns that 'statically' to that address.
I wildcarded the subnets that we use for dynamic assignments. statically assigned hosts get statically assigned reverse entries.
I personally only put hosts in reverse DNS that re-appear more than once. Jeroen
