consolidating Reverse Zones

[Edwardo Garcia]

I have looked twice, there is no whitespace in the zone file.
If I change the conf file to present as a /16 it works fine, but we dont
have the /16 so we cant use it this way in production.
OK, we could, but that would be wrong because we are claiming dns of other
parts of /16 we have no rights to.
Either way it seems bind can not simply do it the way I had expected it to,
flabergasted by that.
