By "ARPA", I assume that you do not mean the USA Department of Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency [which is what ARPA really is], but
reverse DNS lookups?

You may give these whatever names you want.  $GENERATE can help if you
want to do something regular for a large number of addresses.  See
<URL: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/bind8.2_master-file.html>.

E.g.,

	$GENERATE 1-127 $ PTR dial-up-$.domain.example.
	$GENERATE 128-254 $ PTR dsl-$.domain.example.

Of course, you could also use this to give them all the SAME name:

	$GENERATE 0-256 $ PTR none.of.your.fool.business.nowhere.man.

but this is hardly useful.  Usually.
