Hi,

I am trying to set Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation on my Bind 8.2
with $GENERATE directive but it seems to not work.

Here is the configuration I have :

a 0.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa. zone on my external NS
(logatome.francenet.fr) :

$ORIGIN 0.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa.
@               IN      SOA     logatome.0.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa. root.logatom
e.alex.test.francenet.fr. (
                2000022402
                21600
                3600
                3600000
                900 )           

                IN      NS      logatome.alex.test.francenet.fr.

200             IN      PTR bla.alex.test.francenet.fr.
201             IN      PTR blabla.alex.test.francenet.fr.
202             IN      PTR blablabla.alex.test.francenet.fr.

an alex.test.francenet.fr. zone on my external NS
(logatome.francenet.fr) :

$ORIGIN alex.test.francenet.fr.
@               IN      SOA     logatome.alex.test.francenet.fr. root.logatome.a
lex.test.francenet.fr. (
                2000022403
                21600
                3600
                3600000
                900 )            ;; ANSWER SECTION:
200.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa.  1D IN CNAME  200.0.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa.
 

                IN      NS      logatome.alex.test.francenet.fr.

logatome        IN      A       193.149.96.2

bla             IN      A       193.149.97.200
blabla          IN      A       193.149.97.201
blablabla       IN      A       193.149.97.202


$GENERATE directives in 97.149.193.in-addr.arpa on my NS :

$GENERATE       200-205 0       NS      logatome.francenet.fr.
$GENERATE       200-205 $ CNAME $.0

However, when I tried "dig -x 193.149.97.200", I get :

;; ANSWER SECTION:
200.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa.  1D IN CNAME  200.0.97.149.193.in-addr.arpa.
 
and not, bla.alex.test.francenet.fr.
And I can see that no DNS request arrives on my external NS.

What is the problem here ? 

BTW what could be the GENERATE synthax in order to implement a unique
zone on the external NS for the reverse zone and the zone itself like
described in the 5.2 part of the RFC ?

Thanks in advance for your help.		Gildas.
