Unused space generally gets a $generate type generic scripted runs which
could be whatever, like  ip-ad-dr-ess.example.com

Not rid unallocated space, not that there's much of it in v4

As for v6 how popular do you see it getting for mail?

That said, it is best practice to set ptr records even for your
unassigned
ip space


What label would you suggest be used for PTR records in unassigned space?

If it is a standard best practice, why don't the RIRs do it for space
that they have not yet assigned?
Would this apply to IPv6 as well?
