SV: Novice Question about reverse DNS

[Johnny Damtoft]

If your ISP has devided a class C-Net to you and your ISP, its your ISP that
has to define the IP's that you are using into his DNS Server.

He has to do it as CNAMEs to get it working right :)

Eks.

If we take the good old 192.168 addys :)

In your ISP's zonefile (PTR zonefile for 192.168) he should write something
like this :)

$ORIGIN 98.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
$GENERATE 64-127 $ CNAME $.64/26.98.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
64/26.98.168.192.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	ns1.yourdns.domain.com.

This generates CNAMEs  :)

Does it make any cense
