ns3.apnic.net is the reverse DNS PTR for the actual MNAME of the 2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa zone.
% dig +short IN SOA 2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
ns-apnic.6to4.nro.net. dns-admin.apnic.net. 2004083706 7200 1800 604800 172800
% dig +short IN A ns-apnic.6to4.nro.net.
202.12.28.131
% dig +short IN PTR 131.28.12.202.in-addr.arpa.
ns3.apnic.net.
Do you have a 6to4 gateway in operation? If there are misconfigured dhcp clients in your network, and you’re using addresses somewhere in 2002::/16 then it’s reasonable that you’d be seeing that traffic.
