True, input validation should be done as early as possible, in fact, I'd say it's best to validate the data before it's even assembled into a form that I would even call a "Resource Record". The Resource Records should probably be an (sanity-checked and validated) extract of some other sort of

I think you've valid points in this, the stuff I'm coding on is using dynamic updates, right now I'm mainly looking at the regexp stuff to validate user input via a web-ui.

You would create a /16 or /24 parent zone. For example, you could use a zone named 1.1.10.in-addr.arpa. From that zone, you would delegate the /28 reverse zone using a syntax along these lines: 0/28.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa. NS 1.other.name.server. 0/28.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa. NS
