Heres an example:

[alex at moe alex]$ ipcalc --network 172.16.18.123 255.255.248.0
NETWORK=172.16.16.0

This is an IP in the range I am trying to set up - hence the zone I am using
is 16.16.172.in-addr.arpa.

---------------------------

zone "16.16.172.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "db.172.16.16";
        allow-transfer { none; };
        allow-update { none; };
};

---------------------------

[alex at moe alex]$ cat /var/named/db.172.16.16 |more
 at        SOA     moe.foo.com. root.foo.com. (
                3
                10800
                3600
                604800
                86400 )


                IN NS   moe.foo.com.

123.18.16.172.in-addr.arpa.     IN PTR  host-18-123.foo.com.

-----------------------------

This message appears in the messages log on zone reload:

Nov 29 10:51:18 moe named[5277]: db.172.16.16:12: data
"123.18.16.172.in-addr.arpa" outside zone "16.16.172.in-addr.arpa" (ignored)

I *think* I somehow need to tell it the netmask, but I can't figure out how.
