Search Again: Feature Request: name pools From: Jon Wiederspan Date: Wednesday, June 16, 1999 Time: 4:29:00 pm This is probably a proprietary feature; I know I haven't seen it in the RFCs (but I could have missed it): I would really like to be able to enter an IP range and have every reverse lookup on that range match a single name (or even random names based on a name pattern like "machineXX.nsd.org" where XX is a random string). Why? More and more sites will refuse to let you have access or download software (especially encryption software that is export restricted) unless they can do a reverse lookup to identify your domain. Making an entry for every one of the 8000 computers on our network is obviously a waste of time. Even something that automatically generates the tables is a pain because it will eventually require maintenance of some sort. Any chance?
