way to clean up db files

[Justin Randall]

Using $GENERATE will also work for A records, however the proper notation 
would be as such:


$GENERATE       37-62   unused-10-168-24-$     A    10.168.24.$

This is what I used for my unused private IP space.  Forward queries behave 
perfectly normal.

Hope this helps.
