BIND can only act as master for entire subnets, not arbitrary IP ranges.

Delegating back the extra IPs it really only necessary if clients were
to query us for reverses of the FSF IP ranges, which shouldn't happen in
general. However, some of our nameservers are also answering recursive
queries for LAN clients and localhost.

But, yeah, it's mostly just a matter of perfectionism :-)
