Is there an EASY way to create a reverse zone under 3.5.3

I just upgraded from 2.x to 3.5.3 and I could not find an
obvious way to AUTOMATICALLY create an entire reverse zone
for an existing domain (something that is VERY easy to do
under 2.x).

For example, Chris Buxton reported eons ago:

>o Open QuickDNS Pro Admin.
>o From the File menu, select New....
>o In the resulting dialog, select Use Domain Assistant and hit OK.
>o In panel 2 of the assistant, select Reverse Domain.
>o In panel 3, select Create a classless reverse domain.
...


I always took full advantage of this 2.x functionality and I can't find
the equivalent under 3.5.3.

The documentation in whatisareversezone.htm (and in QuickDNS Help)
advertises "What is a Reverse Zone? Why Do I Care? How do I Make One?"
but doesn't mention HOW to make an entire reverse zone AUTOMATICALLY.

The assistant seems to offer only the creation of a new RESOURCE
record. I can also manually INSERT a single PTR record. This is OK,
but certainly not good enough for a zone with lots of records.

How do I "refresh" THE ENTIRE reverse zone for a given domain,
without having to do EACH record (either by hand or via the assistant)?


Thank you,

Alfredo
