Reverse DNS zones. What is preferable?

Good afternoon.
I took care of creating reverse zones on the DNS server, I can not decide on the options. Make one common zone for the entire corporate subnet 10.1.0.0/16 or create a separate zone for each /24 subnet (10.1.1.0/24, 10.1.2.0/24, 10.1.3.0/24).
Are there any fundamental differences in these two schemes? The only difference I see is that there is no need to create a separate zone for each subnet. What are the downsides to this approach?

You need to divide into small ones only if you plan to place them in different places without replicating with each other.
If the DNS server is one-2-3 and the zones will be stored at all, it makes sense to create one zone 1.10.in-addr.arpa

700 addresses in one zone is not good. It is better to divide by 3 at the same time it will be possible to reduce the interval in one of them. I would generally use masks 27 or 26 by the number of ports on the switch

Always segmentation is better. I try to divide both direct and reverse by / 24. The most correct decision from the point of view of administration, as for me.

Big zone updates
so just update changes? is not it so?
I would generally use masks 27 or 26 by the number of ports on the switch
)) and if a person has a port on a switch in the trunk and accepts 1000 MAC/VLAN each? or behind this switch there are 5 more switches? strange division by the number of ports.
