-The name of an IPv6 reverse lookup zone should be in the following form:
-`<IPv6 network prefix in reverse order>.ip6.arpa`.  For examples, see [Overview of reverse DNS](dns-reverse-dns-overview.md#ipv6) for IPv6.

-## Delegate a reverse DNS lookup zone
-
-Once the reverse DNS lookup zone gets created, you then need to make sure the zone gets delegated from the parent zone. DNS delegation enables the DNS name resolution process to find the name servers that host your reverse DNS lookup zone. Those name servers can then answer DNS reverse queries for the IP addresses in your address range.
-
-For forward lookup zones, the process of delegating a DNS zone is described in [Delegate your domain to Azure DNS](dns-delegate-domain-azure-dns.md). Delegation for reverse lookup zones works the same way. The only difference is that you need to configure the name servers with the ISP. The ISP manages your IP range, that's why they need to update the name servers instead of domain name registrar.

-
-1. The name of the record set for a PTR record is the rest of the IPv6 address in reverse order. It must not include any zero compression.
-
-    In this example, the first 64 bits of the IPv6 gets populated as part of the zone name (0.0.0.0.c.d.b.a.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa). That's why only the last 64 bits are supplied in the **Name** box. The last 64 bits of the IP address gets entered in reverse order, with a period as the delimiter between each hexadecimal number. Name your record set **e.5.0.4.9.f.a.1.c.b.0.1.4.2.5.f** if you have a resource whose IP address is 2001:0db8:abdc:0000:f524:10bc:1af9:405e.
