Is there a difference between the configuration of a set of A records using:

1) GENERATE command like:   $GENERATE 0-255 $-1.2.3          A        3.2.1.$
2) Defining all the records one by one.

- difference in the amount of memory used?
- difference in the speed to retrive the answer.

If GENERATE command is used  ==> is the answer "calculated" at the query
incoming or are all the records already present in memory?

The in-store representation of the zone is entirely the same (and hence
the memory usage and access speed). The macro-generation occurs while the
zone file is being read, at startup or after e,g, an "rndc reload [zone]".
