[Pdns-users] forward /28 subnet form inside of a /24 reverse zone

[Imre Gergely]

The rest of the IP addresses (outside that /28) you can define with PTR 
in the normal way, whenever you like. It's not necessary to define them 
all, if they don't have a PTR record, that's alright.

So in your zone file on your 2 namservers you'll have

224/28	IN	NS	ns1.otherserver.com.
224/28	IN	NS	ns1.otherserver.com.

26	IN	PTR	foo1.example.com.
27	IN	PTR	foo2.example.com.
28	IN	CNAME	28.224/28.79.73.217.in-addr.arpa.
29	IN	CNAME	29.224/28.79.73.217.in-addr.arpa.
[..]
43	IN	CNAME	43.224/28.79.73.217.in-addr.arpa.
44	IN	PTR	foo3.example.com.

You only have to have the CNAMEs for _all_ the IP addresses in that /28 
subnet, because you want to delegate them all to the other nameserver.
