The bulkzone program will easily create right-anchored forward and reverse
zonefiles for any size network block.

Just run it twice, and you've got it covered.

On the bigger question of "charging" for reverse DNS: I would consider it
part of the initial setup, or a deferred process tied to the initial setup.
But if a customer swamps you with changes or updates beyond a reasonable
amount, I'd consider delegating the reverse zone, or charging based on the
number of changes.

Just my 2 cents.
