About Bulk Host s
If you need to add a large number of A and PTR record s, you can have the NIOS appliance add them as a group and automatically assign host names based on a range of IP addresses and the host name format you specify. Such a group of records is called a bulk host, which the appliance manages and displays as a single bulk host record.
