(Said procedure is normally done for subnets, as in blocks that would be routed to a particular network, but it can also be applied to arbitrary portions of a class C subnet.) However, for just one IP address, it's easier to simply allocate a "class D subnet", i.e. a single address, as a subnet. In your reverse zone file, you might currently have the following record: 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. PTR customer.hostname. Simply change this to: 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. NS first.customer.name.server. 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. NS second.customer.name.server. Then your customer would create a reverse zone file named 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. It would have the usual SOA record, plus the following records: 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. NS first.customer.name.server. 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. NS second.customer.name.server. 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. PTR customer.hostname. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
