Thanks A. Wooden, C. Pinnock and R. Kulawiec for your answers.
The directive I was looking for is $GENERATE

Below one of the answers:
1. You're probably looking for $GENERATE, I think.
2. Don't do it (the naming) this way. Do it this way:
broadband-0001.dynamic.ourdomain.com
broadband-0002.dynamic.ourdomain.com
i.e. put all the end-user allocations (especially if they are
cable, dialup or DSL using DHCP or similar) in a subdomain, and
naem the subdomain something that clearly identifies as such.
Other examples:
broadband-0001.cablemodem.ourdomain.com
broadband-0001.dhcp.ourdomain.com
broadband-0001.dialups.ourdomain.com
broadband-0001.dsl-users.ourdomain.com
Why? Because that way you will make it much easier for people
doing DNS and/or subdomain anti-spam blocking to list only those
and not your entire domain.
