Wildcarding to the last common reverse octet is as good as it gets. There's an AppleScript included with QuickDNS Manager for Mac OS X (all versions) named "$Generate" that will mass-create A records for you, all following a pattern but with a numeric counter. It's ideal for this if you don't want to use wildcards (or if you want to create a mass of wildcards, such as in this situation). Chris Buxton Men & Mice - Making DNS Easy
