	Not that I recall.

	I'm not sure what benefit you see in adding a feature to
	the BIND server and tools.  I should have thought that a
	suitable script, either for provisioning your zone file(s)
	or for applying a dynamic update, would both relieve any
	burden you currently have, and leave you more flexibility
	than would an extension to BIND.

	FWIW, here's yet another way, grabbed from a shell (bash)
	session.

dhcp-c101a88b(niall)4: alias pint
alias pint='perl -ne '\''sub BEGIN {print "pint> "} sub END {print "\n"} printf "%s\npint> ",eval'\'''
dhcp-c101a88b(niall)5: pint
pint> use Net::IP

pint> $foo = new Net::IP '2001:db8::42'

pint> $foo->reverse_ip()
