Tom,

** Full disclosure:  I am directly involved in the Internet-Draft (I-D)
referenced in the below response.

Although this does not necessarily help you today, some colleagues and I
are working on a new standard which addresses this problem in a more
general way by introducing a new RR type.  It provides several features
beyond simply extending the $GENERATE directive to enormous proportions
such as: allowing AXFR transfers of the "intent" of BULK record
generation.  If you are interested in learning more about this, please
follow the link in my signature below.

We appreciate any comments/ suggestions regarding this draft.


Regards,
John
