Hey,
RFC 4159 was published today, which officially deprecates ip6.int. You
can find the full text at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4159.txt.
Here is a relevant excerpt:
In August 2001 the IETF published [RFC3152], which advised that the
use of "ip6.int" as the domain for reverse-mapping of IPv6 addresses
to DNS names was deprecated. The document noted that the use of
"ip6.int" would be phased out in an orderly fashion.
As of 1 September 2005, the IETF advises the community that the DNS
domain "ip6.int" should no longer be used to perform reverse mapping
of IPv6 addresses to domain names, and that the domain "ip6.arpa"
should be used henceforth, in accordance with the IANA
Considerations described in [RFC3596]. The domain "ip6.int" is
deprecated, and its use in IPv6 implementations that conform to the
IPv6 Internet Standards is discontinued.
Most likely you have this in the named.conf file. You may get
unusual errors popping up eventually. :)
