Search Again: Setting up reverse domain for subnet only. From: Rob Thiemann Date: Thursday, August 12, 1999 Time: 1:01:00 am Hello All, Ok, I'm new at this, and since I don't have a whole block of addresses to myself, I've been given the ability to manage the reverse DNS for my subnet only. Which is kind of cool. But the thing is, I have to enter some entries that QuickDNS doesn't exactly care for. Follows are the instructions I was given: For reverse DNS you need to put a entry in your named.boot file that goes: primary 32.201.209.in-addr.arpa db.209.201.32 Then in whatever directory you have all your zone files in you'll need to create entries like this: 130 PTR alice.netshak.com. 131 PTR hookah.netshak.com. 132 PTR madhatter.netshak.com. 133 PTR whiterabbit.netshak.com. I'm guessing that this block really looks like this in QuickDNS: 130.41.201.209.in-addr.arpa PTR alice.netshak.com. 131.41.201.209.in-addr.arpa PTR hookah.netshak.com. etc... for the rest.... Ok.. he's assuming I'm running linux. no biggie. Now my question is, where do I enter what he says the first line is supposed to be? And what kind of record does it need to be? Second... my addresses are actually 209.201.41.xxx but he's got me entering 209.201.32.xxx in the first line (i'm making the assumption again that he's using .41.xxx for the lower numbers.) Can anyone help me make sense of this? Thanks, Rob Thiemann mailto:rthiemann@netshak.com Netshak Once you go with the 'Shak, you won't go back!
