Actually, the correct result, according to the DNS records involved, is "jp.review.co.jp.". It looks like whatever reverse lookup function Tango is relying on (probably in the web server) is broken - it's ignoring the record types of the records in the returned result, and is simply reading the first record returned. This was a common mistake, which carried essentially no negative consequences, up until a few years ago. But with the practice of classless subnet delegation now commonplace, the function fails. To work around the problem, unfortunately, will involve removing the classless subnet delegation, at least for this particular address. That means that the reverse record for this address must be handled by idc.ad.jp instead of by your own DNS server. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
