Search Again: Re: RFC 2317 From: Michael McDonnell Date: Friday, October 23, 1998 Time: 7:43:00 pm Jeremy, I am getting the following weirdness with my QuickDNS Pro server configured as you said in the thread (RFC 2317). Here is what is happening. On Linux nslookup of 38.200.232.104 gives: Name: michael.internetdesigncenter.com Address: 38.200.232.104 Aliases: 104.232.200.38.in-addr.arpa But the native Mac DNS lookup simply gives 104.232.200.38.in-addr.arpa. My understanding of the Mac routine is that it should give the name and not any of the CNAMEs, but that is not what is happening here. All Mac software is going to return 104.232.200.38.in-addr.arpa as the machine name. What has I, or my ISP, got configured wrong? -Mike M.
