Hello everyone! I've been following this sub for a long time. Since I 
have my own AS and a Hurricane Electric (He.net) tunnel that has been 
running in my homelab for almost three years, I decided to solve an old 
problem I was facing. I wanted the IPv6 addresses assigned to the 
network hosts to have PTR and AAAA records automatically created and 
globally recognized.

The best solution I found was using PowerDNS combined with a Python 
script to handle the automation. The main advantage? Every single one of 
my devices is now mapped with AAAA and PTR records, which gives the 
network a highly organized structure. I am currently using this across 
my Ethernet, Wi-Fi, ADSL, and dial-up connectionsthe latter two being 
part of an internal retrocomputing project.
