Search Again: reverse lookups From: Scott Tudor Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 Time: 8:23:58 am I believe in a past email on quickDNS-talk I saw the following response: >Registering a domain file doesn't automatically give you authority over the reverse zone. Reverse zones aren't tied to domains, nor >vice versa. > >Here's the delegation of your reverse zone, starting from the root servers: > >from f.root-servers.net: > 202.in-addr.arpa.

You'll need to discuss this with your provider to resolve it. I was wondering if you could show me how you generated this info. I tried to do this for "my" network (208.247.201.0) using nslookup but failed. Thanks for all great information.
