Hi,

From a "dig +trace a.0.0.1.0.a.2.ip6.arpa." we learn:

The box is not completely b0rked though as it serves others fine:

7.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa works:

Can somebody have a look at this as it is causing intermittent reverse
resolution problems with a probability of 1/5 boxes, which then get
cached which makes it a nice find why your reverse is sometimes broken,
then works again and then breaks again.... ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen
