It's very simple: Only use "x.x.x.x.x.x.x<long>.x.x.ip6.arpa".
Every version of BIND allows on to create PTR's for that, see various
examples floating around the int4rweb aka Google for it.

For reversing it, some 'dig' version support it, most don't and
generally it is a mess. Solution, use the following script:
http://www.sixxs.net/archive/tools/ip6_arpa.pl

Thus:
dig `~/ip6_arpa.pl <host>` ptr
