But to make it (an ip v6 network) useful, I (as an end user) would need
a dns domain for the machines I control, preferable a zone that *I* have
control over.

In other words; if I have machines with ipv6 adresses that I can reach
globally, but don't have a dns name for them, the usefulness is very
limited.

Is that challenge solved somehow with ipv6?
It doesn't look like dyndns.org supports ipv6 in their free service.
