And for reverse DNS, PTR records? What should we use there?

If you're setting up your private DNS resolvers, you can add PTR records to it. There's nothing special about PTR records in IPv6, they're just DNS records for "in6-addr.arpa" instead of "in-addr.arpa".
How many PTR records should you add for the customary 64-bit Interface ID that applies to one device configured with SLAAC?
