Yes but it is a hack that generates more traffic... to delegate subnets you
have  to have as many zones  as there is address  in the subnet. DNS is not
really made for anything than A,B,C addresses...

info.bind  (in      News       gatewayed  as     bind@uunet.uu.net)     and
comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains come to mind.
