Search Again: Re: secondary server not working on most domains From: Gary Gleason Date: Tuesday, June 5, 2001 Time: 9:32:55 am Chris, Thank you for providing the details of reverse zone delegation. Please bear with me, as I want to be sure I understand the end of the thread. Starting with our domain softlinkcorp.com, which resolves to 208.184.a.b, the reverse zone for the Class C block is a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. The c.root-servers.net server says that the parent zone (234.64.in-addr.arpa.) is delegated to above.net: 184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 345600 ns.above.net. 184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 345600 ns3.above.net. and ns.above.net says that a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. is delegated to our ISP's servers: a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 86400 ns1.lan2wan.com. a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 86400 c2smtp.lan2wan.com. a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 86400 access1.lan2wan.com. a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 86400 access3.lan2wan.net. a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. NS 86400 dns.commerchant.com. Querying the lan2wan.com servers for the PTR record b.a.184.208.in-addr.arpa gives: b.a.184.208.in-addr.arpa. PTR 86400 b-a-184-208.dsl.lan2wan.com. So above.net is using the "classless subnet reverse zone method" and lan2wan picked the naming scheme, right? What would be involved in having the reverse DNS for our small block, 208.184.a.b, b+4 delegated to us?
