Update AAAA PTR record with nsupdate

I want to update IPV6 addresses using nsupdate. But I don't know, how to specify the PTR record for it, the IPV6 version of ww.xx.yy.zz.in-addr.arpa.
Thanks in advance
Didi

An IPv6 PTR record looks like a reversed, fully expanded address with dots between each nibble. The zone name is "ip6.arpa".

Here's the current PTR record for "2600::":
Code:
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.6.2.ip6.arpa. 21599 IN PTR www.sprint.net.
