I can't find how to create IPv6 PTR records on my Windows Server 2003 DNS server, can someone point me in the right direction?

Here is the crux of the issue. I will include the link to the main article
below:

a.. Pointer (PTR) Resource Records (optional; not recommended). The DNS
infrastructure can also contain the following resource records, populated
either manually or dynamically, to resolve addresses to host names in
reverse queries:
a.. PTR records in the IN-ADDR.ARPA domain for the IPv4 addresses of IPv4
nodes.
b.. PTR records in the IP6.ARPA domain for the IPv6 addresses of IPv6
nodes. (Recall that RFC 3152 specifies that IP6.INT be phased out and
replaced by IP6.ARPA.) The IP6.INT domain was created specifically for IPv6
reverse queries. To create the namespace for reverse queries, each
hexadecimal digit in the 32-digit IPv6 address (zero compression and
double-colon compression notation cannot be used) becomes a separate level
in inverse order in the reverse domain hierarchy. Therefore, the reverse
lookup domain name for the address FEC0::2AA:FF:FE3F:2A1C is:
C.1.A.2.F.3.E.F.F.F.0.0.A.A.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.C.E.F.IP6.INT

Avoid integrating PTR resource record support into your DNS infrastructure;
the results can be unreliable.

For name-to-address resolution, after the querying node obtains the set of
addresses corresponding to the name, that node must determine the best set
of addresses to use as the source and destination for outbound packets.
