I couldn't find anything in my copy of DNS and Bind(3rd ed., it's
three years old) regarding the delegation of classless reverse
domains.

The IP address space to be delegated is 64.198.226.128/26, so what
would need to be done on the current authority(server 1) for
64.198.226.0/24. What needs to be done on the delegatee server(server
2)?

Can this be done in QuickDNS on both servers?

Now, what if server 2 is the primary lookup DNS for a block of
computers. Will DNS queries from those computers be able to see the
parts of 64.198.226.0/24 that were not delegated? (Those would be
64.198.226.0/25 and 64.198.226.192/26, right?)

Thanks,

Jim
