If you only have one public IP address, it's probably more trouble than it's worth to get it delegated to you. It'd likely be easier to just get the ISP (or whoever has authority for the reverse zone) to make the PTR point to the name you want. If they won't do that, then you can always use their PTR name in your MX records (although it might not be very pretty). -- Christopher Bort | cbort@globalhomes.com Webmaster, Global Homes | webmaster@globalhomes.com <http://www.globalhomes.com/>
