	Title           : Reverse DNS Naming Convention for CIDR Address Blocks

   The current reverse DNS naming method is used to specify a complete
   IP address.  It has not been used to handle address ranges; for
   example, there is no formal mechanism for specifying a reverse DNS
   name for the block of addresses specified by the IPv4 prefix
   129.82.0.0/16.  Defining such a reverse DNS naming convention would
   be useful for a number of applications.  These include applications
   for secure BGP routing, and applications that need host-information
   for a device owning a complete IPv6 address block.  This draft
   proposes a naming convention for encoding CIDR address blocks in the
   reverse DNS.
