  Random clients do not have a trust relationship with the owner of the
reverse zone.
  (consider laptops that show up at an IETF)

  In IPv4 with DHCP, we solve this by giving the DHCP *server* a trust
relationship with the owner of the reverse zone. (And DHCPv4 can be
secured, and can even be secured for random clients)

  In IPv6, if we used DHCPv6 (not very popular yet), we can replicate
the model. If we are using RS/RA, then we have to find a way for the RS
to have a trust relationship with the owner of the reverse zone. That
part is easy --- the question is how does the RS even know about the new
clients?
