The alternative is to have a separate zone for each address, and
delegate each of them to your server. So the parent zone would have:
0 IN NS ns1.yourdomain.com.
IN NS ns2.yourdomain.com.
1 IN NS ns1.yourdomain.com.
IN NS ns2.yourdomain.com.
and so on...
Either way, the parent zone needs to have specific records for each of
the addresses in the subnet. The client always tries to look up
w.x.y.z.in-addr.arpa, and only supports delegation at "." boundaries in
the name. There's no way for it to know automatically that different "w"
values are delegated to different servers.
