How would a client bootstrap a query for 29.12.202.in-addr.arpa ?

If I am querying for IP network 2001:0400::/22, which server would I
contact? [0]

I would prefer to see an approach that minimises variance in bootstrap
complexity between names and numbers: making numbers bootstrap too complex
increases the likelihood of an unofficial solution arising, such as an
HTTP(S) request to rdap.org or rdap.arin.net.

[0] To save you the time, here are the relevant entries in the IANA IPv6
registry:

2001:0400::/23 ARIN     1999-07-01 whois.arin.net ALLOCATED
2001:0600::/23 RIPE NCC 1999-07-01 whois.ripe.net ALLOCATED

(You might see 0::/0, 2000::/3, or a 404 for this query, but the
bootstrapping client shouldn't be the place where the final answer is
determined).
