The numbers of such external queries at our name server is already
quite small relative to ip6.arpa:

% zgrep -ich "external:.*\.ip6\.int.*PTR" /var/log/bind9-query.log*
0
2
4
5
% zgrep -ich "external:.*\.ip6\.arpa.*PTR" /var/log/bind9-query.log*
83
223
206
206

Looks like it may not be more then a few of percent. I guess there
may be some clients that are fall back to ip6.int if a response is
not forthcomming from ip6.arpa.
