Are the addresses contiguous? Are they on a bit boundary? If
*every* address in a C-class should resolve the same way, you can just
use a wildcard entry in the zone for the C-class. For ranges within a
C-class, or which span C-classes, you could use $GENERATE directives.
Otherwise, a little scripting or even the search-and-replace
capabilities of your text editor, should be able to do the job.
