dns0.easynet.be not delegating 3.0.8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 
  Shadow Hawkins on Friday, 30 April 2010 15:24:20
This issue has already been reported (and marked as "resolved") several times in the past, first time in 2008, but it is still ongoing.
Reverse DNS delegation of ranges from bebru01 (particularly 3.0.8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa) does not work through dns0.easynet.be.
We have:
8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 172800 IN     NS      ns.ripe.net.
8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 172800 IN     NS      ns.easybone.net.
8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 172800 IN     NS      ns.easynet.de.
8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 172800 IN     NS      dns0.easynet.be.
8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 172800 IN     NS      ns2.easynet.net.
The other NS'es delegate to ns*.sixxs.net correctly, but dns0.easynet.be returns NXDOMAIN.  This makes roughly 20% of PTR lookups for these IP's fail, this is *very annoying* (try "dig +trace -x 2001:6f8:3a7::1" several times).
Can either dns0.easynet.be's configuration be corrected OR can it be removed altogether from the 8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. zone?
Thanks.

dns0.easynet.be not delegating 3.0.8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 
Works for me since it was resolved a long time ago; and we test several times a day if all DNS servers in the whole tree delegate down-wards properly, but there might have been some strange glitch somewhere though which might go unnoticed.
See output below that it works, can you repeat that if you think that DNS server is an issue?

It seems to respond correctly only to explicit NS queries for the 3.0.8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. zone (like the one you showed), but it does not delegate to those NS'es when querying for any PTR records within that zone, it returns NXDOMAIN instead:
boris:ghen(0) % dig -x 2001:6f8:3a7::1 @dns0.easynet.be.
; <<>> DiG 9.5.2-P2 <<>> -x 2001:6f8:3a7::1 @dns0.easynet.be.

Whereas the other NS'es delegate properly, eg.:
boris:ghen(0) % dig -x 2001:6f8:3a7::1 @ns.ripe.net.

Can you reproduce this?
 
dns0.easynet.be not delegating 3.0.8.f.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa 
That is strange indeed. Seems there is some inconsistency there. I'll ask the Easynet folks to have a close look at it.
