I don't think h2n has been significantly updated in years, so it doesn't
know about RFC 2317-style reverse domains.

Use -n 208.208.208, and then have the Makefile run the file through a sed
command that removes any domain suffixes from the reverse file:
sed -e 's/\.208\.208\.in-addr\.arpa\.//' -e 's/^208\.208\.208\.in-addr\.arpa\./@/'
When the file contains unqualified names, it's the same whether its for the
whole class C or just one subnet (RFC 2317's "magic" is mainly in the
parent zone, which your ISP manages).
