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.
