You can not put a wildcard in your /etc/hosts file...no. You can put
individiual entries in your /etc/hosts file, for each IP.
To modify the zone file, you edit (probable location)
/var/named/db.172.16.0, and do the following:
Add a line for "1" that looks like the "254 IN PTR" line, below.
Increment the "; Serial" number by 1.
Restat named.
BTW...someone else had noted, earlier, that they seemed to think that the
address space you're using belonged to someone already, and that you
should renumber.
On the off chance, I did a little digging...you're safe. 172.16.0.0/12
(the space between 172.16.0.0 and 172.31.255.255) is not allocated, and is
actually considered "private space". You don't have to worry about it.
