[dns-operations] Any Google DNS admins around?

The reverse DNS for Google Fiber's IPv6 allocation is broken, which
causes annoying lookup pauses.  Reverse DNS for 2605:a600::/31 is
delegated by ARIN to ns{1..4}.google.com, but those servers return
REFUSED for lookups (which means recursive servers try them all, then
return SERVFAIL).

The zones should at least be stubbed out with SOA and NS records, so
they return NXDOMAIN (it would be nicer to actually put some network
infrastructure in there so traceroutes and such gave useful info).

$ dig +norec -x 2605:a600:: @ns1.google.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.62.rc1.el6_9.5 <<>> +norec -x 2605:a600:: @ns1.google.com
