The API does allow you to create and update DNS records, including IPv6. Though, we do not support setting rDNS directly for either IPv4 or IPv6. rDNS (PTR ) records are automatically configured for your IPs based on the hostname that you provide for your droplet. For IPv6, it is only for the first address that is assigned.
