    Just a quick stupid question, trying to setup an IPV6 compliant PTR, but a bit lost on the values to insert in the name and canonical hostname.
    Brain just doesn't want to get into gear and I'm sure it is very simple.

    The Name to use will depend on what the zone name is, and the Canonical Hostname will be a hostname (with trailing period).

    Eg. using the example address from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup#IPv6_reverse_resolution, if you created a zone of `0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa` you would use a 'Name' of `b.a.9.8.7.6.5`.

    If instead you created a zone of '7.6.5.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa' you would use a 'Name' of `b.a.9.8`

    At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, just to make sure I understand.
    BTW in case it makes any difference, I currently have four DNS zones and corresponding web and mail active on the server.
