Alan..
I inherited this box.. and am really wanting to make this much more
simple since this isn't my primary job..

I just changed the some of the numbers..
this is the "actual" format of my real PTR zone file.

I am going to read up on  $GENERATE function..
Reminds me of my macros on my OpenBSD firewall..


Much Thanks..
Charles
