Reverse DNS is fairly easy with DHCPv6 because you can delegate DNS on 
nibble boundaries and separate your DHCPv6 hosts from your EUI-64 
(SLAAC) and static hosts.  For example, your DHCPv6 pool could be 
2001:db8:400:500:0000:dddd::/96 out of a /64.  That gives you 4.3 
billion DHCPv6 addresses, still with room to assign statics and EUI-64 
(although SLAAC privacy addresses in theory could cause collisions). 
Then you can just delegate 
d.d.d.d.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.0.0.0.4.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa to a DDNS 
server and have your DHCPv6 hosts be automatically registered, while 
still maintaining your statics separately.
