Hello Hank, Here's what they've done: Here's the delegation part: 192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. NS auth00.ns.uu.net. 192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. NS auth61.ns.uu.net. 193.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. CNAME 193.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. 194.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. CNAME 194.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. 195.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. CNAME 195.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. [...] 254.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. CNAME 254.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. Here's the final reverse zone - note the lack of certain records, for hosts that either don't exist or simply don't have proper reverse records: The host or domain "193.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa." does not exist 194.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. PTR lists.talklist.com. 195.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. PTR www.hutman.com. [...] The host or domain "254.192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa." does not exist So here's what you do (assuming you don't want to use the Domain Assistant to do this for you): Create a zone file called 192.23.76.63.in-addr.arpa. Add NS records for your servers. Then create these funky-looking 5-octet PTR records, such as those listed above; for each record, in the Name column, simply put the last number from the IP address (193, 194, etc.) and let QuickDNS fill in the rest. Once that's done, ask UU Net to delegate your reverse zone to your servers. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
