Default dns names

Once upon a time I knew how to configure BIND to send a canned reply for lookups to undefined IP addresses. Thus, a lookup of 192.168.1.16, if not assigned to a hostname, would return as “dhcp-16.example.com.”

Now I can’t remember what BIND option actually did this. Any other sysadmin geeks out there know how to do this?

Update: Found it! It’s the $GENERATE feature. Cool!
