I also don't recommend doing the foo.v4/foo.v6 thing in your forwards. There's really no advantage to do it. Most tools either have separate IPv4/IPv6 variants or have command-line switches for address-family control if you care.
For most tools that I ordinarily use, I would certainly agree with this. The only exception might be from a web browser; while there are ways that they can be reconfigured to only use certain IP versions in certain cases, it is probably more straightforward to use www.ipvN.domain.tld or a similar name. For reverse DNS, I completely agree that there is no reason to use a different name.
