I explained that in in the first posting of this thread.

In short, you will have global IPv6 addresses on you home LAN.

These addresses with accompanying DNS names have to be registered on a 
public DNS server, i.e. the DNS server of your ISP.

There has to be a secure and automatic mechanism on your router that 
will take care of this.

Your ISP has to provide you with a (sub)domain where you can store your 
entries.

That is the only way you can access devices on you home LAN by a DNS 
name, like nas.levitte.org .

I notice that you have your own domain, but I assume you don't have your 
own public DNS server. You will use the DNS server of some ISP or so. I 
also have a domain, but it is registered at Hurricane Electric.

So levitte.org should be registered at the nameserver of your ISP, 
otherwise reversed name lookup is impossible.
