Depending on how visible you want your traceroute information to be one, one thing you could do would be use static link local addresses that are unique across the whole of your local network, and then put them in your local 0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. subdomain.

For example, 

-----[fe80::1]<rtr1>[fe80::2]----[fe80::3]<rtr2>[fe80::4]-----[fe80::5]<rtr3][fe80::6]----

1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. PTR e0.rtr1

2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. PTR e1.rtr1

3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. PTR e0.rtr2

4.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. PTR e3.rtr2

5.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. PTR e2.rtr3

6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa. PTR e0.rtr3


With so many interface IDs available in fe80::/64, there'd be no need to even put any effort into recycling them should you decommission a router or link. Just keep using the next fe80::X address as you add router interfaces.

Traceroute would work for you, however outside of your network, other people would be querying their own version of 0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa., hiding your interface and router names. This idea might be useful to assist with troubleshooting for a "Using Only Link-Local Addressing Inside an IPv6 Network" http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-behringer-lla-only-01 scenario.

Regards,
Mark.
