RFC3363 is the latest standard. The latest version of BIND9 ARM has already been aligned with it. You simply referred to an older version document. The latest version of dig is also aligned with the latest standard. You can simply use the -x option just like you would do with IPv4 addresses: % ~/src/bind-9.3.1/bin/dig/dig -x 2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085 ptr You'll then see: ; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> -x 2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085 ptr ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 38785 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;5.8.0.3.5.a.e.f.f.f.7.4.3.0.2.0.2.0.0.8.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.

You don't need any special options: % ~/src/bind-9.3.1/bin/dig/host 2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085 5.8.0.3.5.a.e.f.f.f.7.4.3.0.2.0.2.0.0.8.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer orange.kame.net.
