Search Again: Reverse DNS Questions From: Mia''s Virtual Post Office Date: Thursday, May 27, 1999 Time: 6:33:00 pm I have added another remote POP recently through a new provider. We have 1/2 class C for the POP and I have setup the following reverse DNS for this /25 Inverse Zone File name: 29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. 29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. NS jer.mia.net. 29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. NS ns.dslnet.com. 29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. NS ns2.nap.net. 129.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR mia-burlington-gateway.mia.net. 179.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR pm3-179-burl4.mia.net. 130.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR pm3-130-burl2.mia.net. 131.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.131.mia.net. 132.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.132.mia.net. 133.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.133.mia.net. 134.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.134.mia.net. 135.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.135.mia.net. 136.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.136.mia.net. 137.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR 130-pm3-209.100.29.137.mia.net. 138.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa.

"blah blah" "blah blah" "blah blah" 254.29.100.209.in-addr.arpa. PTR pc1-alero.mia.net. I sent over the inverse zone file to my new upscale provider and asked that we be made authoratative for this block. Here is a copy of email I received from them today: <snip> I have received your request to set up reverse lookups for the 209.100.29.128 network. Because you are running your own name server (jer.mia.net 206.190.23.194) I can give you authority over your reverse lookups for your subnet. The procedure that I follow is RFC 2317 (http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/rfc/rfc2317.html). Otherwise, I can set up the reverses as requested and leave them on ns.dslnet.com. Let me know what you would like to do. </snip> Have I configured something wrong in the in-addr.arpa. file? I am working with new provider for these services and my other providers have always understood my needs, and have never had trouble configuring this with them. Am I correctly following RFC 2317? One of my providers currently creates a "shim domain" for my inverse dns which requires that I name may inverse files as follows: mia-1.xxx.xx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. , mia-2.xxx.xx.xxx.in-addr.arpa. , etc... If this makes sense please help shed some light on this...
