Generate a BIND-format reverse DNS zone file from a subnet CIDR. Supports standard /8, /16, /24 subnets and classless /25-/31 delegation per RFC 2317.
The PTR Zone Generator creates a complete BIND-format reverse DNS zone file from a subnet CIDR. Reverse DNS maps IP addresses back to hostnames via PTR records. The zone name follows in-addr.arpa convention: for 10.1.2.0/24 the zone is 2.1.10.in-addr.arpa (octets reversed from the network address).
For classless subnets (/25 through /31), the tool uses RFC 2317 classless delegation. The zone name becomes startOctet/prefix.C.B.A.in-addr.arpa to avoid conflicts with the parent /24 zone. This pattern requires the ISP or parent zone to delegate the classless zone via CNAME records.
Enter optional IP,hostname pairs (one per line) to automatically generate PTR records. Bare hostnames without a domain are qualified with your domain suffix. Fully qualified names (containing a dot) are kept as-is with a trailing dot appended. All processing runs in your browser.
