Re: PTR Problems

What kind of IP space do you have? Do you have an entire class C or do you
only have a few address from your ISP (like many DSL users do). If you only
have a few, I'm told that ISP's can't delegate PTR records down to your DNS
for anything less than a full class C.

In this case, I understand the your ISP has to hold the PTR records for your
domain.

DNS Expert tries to follow the delegations and expects to hit your name
servers, but never gets there, it would stop at your ISP's DNS.
