Please elaborate.<br>
<br>
I've not heard of (unspecified type of) servers rejecting connections <br>
because of the lack of a PTR record.<br>
<br>
I have heard of mail servers /accepting/ a /TCP/ /transport/ connection <br>
layer but /rejecting/ email at the /SMTP/ /application/ layer for the <br>
lack of a PTR record.<br>
<br>
IMHO mail servers are not in scope for a $GENERATE style flood filling <br>
of a zone. Rather they are in scope for very specifically generated <br>
AAAA records.<br>

I'd say that /many/ ISPs populate in-addr.arpa zone(s) for IPv4. -- I <br>
still run across IPv4 addresses that don't have PTR records way more <br>
often than I think is reasonable.<br>
<br>
I've seen no evidence that ISPs also populate ip6.arpa zone(s) for IPv6 <br>
in a similar way. Not the least of which are some of the reasons called <br>
out in this thread.<br>
