When my users try to connect to the server (telnet) there is a delay while
the server (arpwatch) attempts to do a reverse DNS lookup, which always
fails.

Is there a way that I can set up bind so that a certain range of IP
addresses will be listed as #.domain.com where # = the last octet of the IP
address?  (So the "dynamic IPs" will reverse-lookup like most ISPs do.)

Thanks
