One is a stunt rDNS server that synthesizes the records on demand.
(Bonus points for doing DNSSEC, too. Double bonus points for doing
NSEC3.)

NSEC3 is a waste of time in ip6.arpa or any similarly structured
zone so -1000000 for doing NEC3 and effectively doing a DoS attack
against yourself and the client resolvers.

I know, but figuring out on the fly what order the hashes are would 
be quite a coding feat.

subtract labels until you have one which fits the namespace pattern.
that is the closest encloser <ce>. hash that name for the closest
encloser.  hash <label>.<ce> add/subtact one for the second half
of the noqname proof.  hash *.<ce> add/subtact one for the no
wildcard proof.

John
