That's funny, I've always liked seq for that, since it is so much easier to
use (the first argument to jot is the size of the set, not the ending
number). In fact, I have a shell script called 'seq' that I use on my
FreeBSD boxes:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" -ne 2 ] ; then
echo "usage: seq FIRST LAST"
exit 1
fi
jot $(echo 1+$2-$1 | bc) $1 $2

Ick, who likes zone files? I'd rather use tinydns or MyDNS, both of which
can do automatic PTR records.
Speaking of DNS, if you have a lot of DNS data, you should check out the
latest version of MyDNS. The web interface has been re-written and is
really nice. The automatic PTR record feature works very well in
combination with the server side alias functionality (--enable-alias), which
I originally wrote.
