First, you need to have your ISP delegate the reverse zone to your name servers. Once that's done you need a separate PTR record in the reverse zone for each IP number that has a host name. E.g.: z.y.x.in-addr.arpa. NS ns1.your.domain. z.y.x.in-addr.arpa. NS ns2.your.domain. 1.z.y.x.in-addr.arpa. PTR host1.your.domain. 2.z.y.x.in-addr.arpa. PTR host2.your.domain. 3.z.y.x.in-addr.arpa. PTR host3.your.domain. etc. Christopher Bort | cbort@globalhomes.com Webmaster, Global Homes | webmaster@globalhomes.com <http://www.globalhomes.com/> | PGP public key available on request
