I want to dispute one part of this: the "DNSSEC may not scale well" part. With 
thanks to Ray Bellis, APNIC has been running an evldns webserver which signs on 
the fly, and we have achieved north of 3000 signs/second from this code on a 
smallish cloud node signing on demand.

Can you quantify "smallish"?  Unfortunately, the folks I know who can tell me 
our PTR query rate are out for a couple of weeks, but it would stand to reason 
that the RIRs would get a lot of qps.


Our model was unique domains (the 1x1 ad system) but Ray coded a simple ring 
buffer and for the repeat queries, there was a demonstrable cache benefit to 
keeping some amount of signed state live without having to re-sign.

Makes sense.

When this part of the text was first written, 5-6 years ago, the statement was 
truer than it is now.
I could rewrite to say, "Signing PTR records on the fly may be scalable, 
especially if records thus signed are cached, but large-scale experience is 
currently limited."
Ralf's additional note about DDoS scenarios is well taken, but I have a feeling 
APNIC is under constant attack.

In other words: more input needed.

I think that on-the-fly DNSSEC for IPv6 is tractable.

        Title           : Reverse DNS in IPv6 for Internet Service Providers

Abstract:
   In IPv4, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) commonly provide IN-
   ADDR.ARPA information for their customers by prepopulating the zone
   with one PTR record for every available address.  This practice does
   not scale in IPv6.  This document analyzes different approaches and
   considerations for ISPs in managing the ip6.arpa zone for IPv6
   address space assigned to many customers.
