Windows will just populate the reverse zone as needed, if you let
it, using dynamic update.  If you have properly deployed BCP 39
and have anti-spoofing ingres filtering then you can just let any
address from the /48 add/remove PTR records.  Other OS's will
follow suite.

Alternatively you can delegate the reverse for the /48 to servers
run by the customers.
