Hallo Christian,

observe that there is no delegation for the reverse map of 193.100.177.32/28 !
Following the link down from ns.ripe.net, one notices :
100.193.in-addr.arpa. is delegated to auth00.ns.de.uu.net.
However, in the zonefile (dig @auth00.ns.de.uu.net axfr 100.193.in-addr.arpa)
there is nothing about 32/28.177.100.193... (nor 32-28... for that matter).
What can be observed is that a couple of delegations to subnets has been done in
the "old fashioned way".  Prior to the official RFC about classless reverse
resolving, the original proposal did not mention anything about the bit-length.
In this particular zonefile you can observe such delegations :
192.177.100.193.IN-ADDR.ARPA.   86400   NS  auth52.ns.de.uu.net.
192.177.100.193.IN-ADDR.ARPA.   86400   NS  auth02.ns.de.uu.net.
212.177.100.193.IN-ADDR.ARPA.   86400   CNAME   212.192...
...

I'd say contact hostmaster at de.uu.net to ask for the delegation and the CNAMES in
their zone.

Success,

Marc Lampo
