Does the $GENERATE directive in BIND zone files do what you need?

I have to look up the syntax and play with things every time I use the 
$GENERATE directive, but it has always done what I needed for things 
like this.

It's probably not what you want, but I'd expect that such generation 
could be done manually / programmatically outside of BIND and entered 
into a zone file as static data.  E.g. a for loop with counting 
redirecting into a file.
