Search Again: Reverse delegation filename(?) From: Bill Staudenheimer Date: Monday, April 1, 2002 Time: 12:05:11 am Having at long last found the right words to say into the right cubicle at xo.com, I got a Classless Reverse Delegation for my subnet, which they designated as 64/27.26.31.209.in-addr.arpa. for 32 IPs (32 minus 27 = 5 bits => 32) So using the helper in QDNS on OS 9, I set it up. However, setting it up on an OS X machine using the QuickDNS Manager, the helper refuses to accept the name, apparently because of the slash character, significant in Unix filesystems. The best I can get is 64-27.26.31.209.in-addr.arpa. My impression was that the"64/27" or "64-27" are strings, and thus would not be equal and not recognized properly. So are the dash "-" or slash "/" interchangeable with respect to whatever uses them in the DNS world? + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + William L.
