Sorry, I don't understand. We are authoritive for 'technodat.de' and use
193.100.177.32/28. Primary NS is in Austria, secondary in Germany at the
location of 'technodat.de'.
The organization that's authoritative for 100.193.in-addr.arpa has to
delegate authority for 32-28.177.100.193.in-addr.arpa to your name servers.
Otherwise, no one will know to go to your servers for this subdomain -- DNS
lookups work by starting at the root and following chains of delegation of
subdomains. If a delegation is missing, it breaks the chain.
When I setup a '177.100.193.in-addr.arpa' zone containing IP's 32-47, an
'arp -a' on the Secondary can resolve all addresses and shows the names.
Changing to '32-47.177.100.193.in-addr.arpa' zone containing the same IP's
cannot be resolved on the same machine !?
(in this short description I didn't mention all things like changing the
files, changing $ORIGIN, changing serial number, ndc reloads etc ...)
Classless in-addr.arpa depends on the parent domain containing a bunch of
CNAME records. It's not enough that you have the
32-47.177.100.193.in-addr.arpa zone on your server, the server for
177.100.193.in-addr.arpa has to have a bunch of CNAME records that look
like:
32 CNAME 33.32-47
33 CNAME 34.32-47
and so on.
