How so?  It's just longer owner names.  There are enough tools that will
covert IPv6 addresses to the corresponding reverse name.  You most probably
already have the tools on your machines.
 
        dig, nslookup, arpaname

And if you are running Mac OS or Windows they will add the PTR records for
themselves.  I just wish all the other OS's did that so I don't have to do
them by hand.
