draft-ietf-ipngwg-aaaa-00.txt
proposes another method which would work for including IPv6 addresses:
An IPv6 address is represented as a name in the IP6.INT domain by a
sequence of nibbles separated by dots with the suffix ".IP6.INT". The
sequence of nibbles is encoded in reverse order, i.e. the low-order
nibble is encoded first, followed by the next low-order nibble and so
on. Each nibble is represented by a hexadecimal digit. For example,
the inverse lookup domain name corresponding to the address
4321:0:1:7:3:4:567:89ab
would be
b.a.9.8.7.6.5.0.4.0.0.0.3.0.0.0.7.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.2.3.4.IP6.INT.
