Reverse Delegations

Hello everybody,
I just added nameservers for my default /64 subnet.
I would like to use comuptername.example.com as reverse dns. Is this allowed? I read trough the FAQ (https://www.sixxs.net/faq/sixxs/?faq=dnsspam) but my english is not the best and I don't want to risk that my account gets deleted. That's why I ask here in the forum.
Of course I would change example.com to my own domain in the ptr records and computername to the name of the computer on the local network.
Do I also need to add a ptr to my domain (computername.example.com to ip6address) or is the ptr in ip6.arpa (ip6address to computername.example.com) enough?

(I guess you mean computername ;)
Of course, that is what it is intended for. The general rule of thumb is 'it it ain't a sentence then it is fine'.
Thus i.am.the.king.of.new.york.com would not be good and hack.me.it would be quite bad.
Generally thus all your reverses will be in the same domain too and not splattered all around the world's TLDs as they are uniformly forming a hierarchy of hosts, the form computername.tld.example.com thus does make perfect sense.
Do I also need to add a ptr to my domain (computername.example.com to ip6address) or is the ptr in ip6.arpa (ip6address to computername.example.com) enough?
You need to add a PTR for the IPv6 address to name mapping and in your domain an AAAA record to map the name to the IPv6 address.

You're right I meant computername :)
Thank you very much for your quick and helpful answer.
