my preference is usually to declare the zone and the file with respect
to where they fall in the global address space.  thus, since 127.0.0.1
is under the class a space 127.0.0.0/8, i use a file called 127.rev
for the zone 127.in-addr.arpa.

likewise, the loopback address for ip16 falls under

2.4 Address Type Representation

   The specific type of an IPv6 address is indicated by the leading bits
   in the address.  The variable-length field comprising these leading
   bits is called the Format Prefix (FP).  The initial allocation of
   these prefixes is as follows:

    Allocation                            Prefix         Fraction of
                                          (binary)       Address Space
    -----------------------------------   --------       -------------
    Reserved                              0000 0000      1/256
    ...

so i'd be tempted to do

    zone "0.0.ip6.int" { type master; file "0.0.ip6.int"; };

and the same with the 0.in-addr.arpa zone.

sure, it makes the zone files a little more ugly to look at, but
they're *supposed* to be relatively static anyway.  :)
