its not a problem if you assign a c class to more than one boxes. its just
that if your naming scheme is consistent, its much easier to code and
automate.
my ip range is xxx.xxx.xxx.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.224, and i name my modem ips as
ppp1.something.net, to ppp224.something.net so coding a small program is
simple and looks something like this :
open "c:\something.txt" for output as #1
for counter = 1 to 224
print #1, "ppp" & counter &" IN A xxx.xxx.xxx." &
counter
next
close #1
I end up with a file that looks like this
ppp1 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.1
ppp2 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.2
..........
ppp224 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.224
the same applies for the reverse lookup
open "c:\reverse.txt" for output as #1
for counter = 1 to 224
print #1, counter & " IN PTR ppp" & counter &
".something.net"
next
close #1
and i get a file like this
1 IN PTR ppp1.something.net
2 IN PTR ppp2.something.net
........
224 IN PTR ppp224.something.net
Then its a simple matter of editing the zone files and pasting the new text
in.
So, provided you have a naming scheme that is fairly constant, you can
easily make the zone files in a few minutes.
