3. IANA Considerations 3. Example
If 2001:DB8:1:4::/62 is delegated then KEY records for
4.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA KEY ...
5.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA KEY ...
6.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA KEY ...
7.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA KEY ...
will be added. The CPE device will configure the nameservers to
serve all of the following zones
4.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA
5.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA
6.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA
7.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA
then will send individual UPDATE messages to delegate each of the
reverse zones.
