Build a quick hack to import the rDNS pattern table into rDNS.html from
the DNSAdmin source file instead of hand-copying it. Still committing
rDNS.html to SVN for convenience since it shouldn't change much.

16<p>The IP Database can pass reverse DNS information back and forth to a DNS management backend to simplify
[582]17maintenance of the reverse DNS records associated with the IPs being managed.</p>
18
[778]19<p>Several shortcuts can be used when specifying a pattern for an IPv4 netblock, which will be expanded to
20actual DNS records by the DNS management system.</p>
[582]21
[778]22<p>Entries should generally only be present in the "Per-IP reverse entries" section if they are different from
[684]23the block pattern.</p>
24
[778]25<p>Template patterns are not supported for IPv6 allocations due to the size of the address space and typical
[673]26size of allocations.</p>
27
[778]28<p>"(cached)" or "[local]" indicates the rDNS information shown came from IPDB records,
29and not the DNS management utility. It may be out of date, or DNS
30management integration may be missing or incomplete for this block.</p>

72 %blank% may be used to specifically prevent template expansion on a segment of a block if

74 for 192.168.23.48/30 of "%blank%" will leave 192.168.23.48 through .51 without PTR records
