Search Again: Re: Reverse record question. From: Dean Suhr Date: Monday, July 15, 2002 Time: 11:39:52 am I'm a novice here ... Would you please give some insight into what is the optimal reverse lookup fro a single IP mail server that is hosting multiple domains? And a brief "class 101" on the process of delegation. Do I need to contact my ISP to have my one IP delegated? Will they choke on this request?
