	The real question is why you want to?  Just delegate each of
	the x.y.z.in-addr.arpa entries.  You can use $GENERATE to do
	that.

	e.g.
		$GENERATE 64-127 $ NS <namesever1>.
		$GENERATE 64-127 $ NS <namesever2>.

	If you really need to have all the PTR records in one zone
	
		$GENERATE 64-127 $ DNAME $.<other zone>.

	The later is only supported by BIND 9.

	Mark
