BIND 9 have support for writing plugins, and we would accept a well written plugin that would allow generating the forward/reverse plugins on the fly.

There’s already a feature request for it here: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues/1586

this request for ipv4 too.

I really don't think making generic named for ipv6 addresses within range bigger then e.g. /112 (64Ki addresses) makes any sense.

prehaps it may for small subsets of IP addresses

/64 is 18446744073709551616 addresses, that can't be scanned in meaningful time and this number of DNS records would just mess up any DNS servers' memory.

making BIND resilient against overflowing memory this way would make more sense than creating generic addresses.

Yes, that's exactly why plugin is needed. The plugin can generate answers on the fly without having all of them in memory.
