I've been hand-maintaining reverse DNS for some DHCP-assigned hosts on
the LAN, which is the DNS equivalent of what you suggest. I may just
use dummy host names in the DHCP region to "soak up" the queries, but I
was hoping I could just selectively disable the queries by either
interface or address range.
Another way to approach this is to allow querying only for "non-local"
addresses that are not within the network of the interface they came in
on. (if ((my_ip ^ his_ip) & netmask) do_reverse_lookup();)
