Reverse DNS problems

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	Len, They have performed a classless delegation.  Here are
	the NS records from there servers.

32.34.219.64.in-addr.arpa.  2H IN NS  r65.org.
32.34.219.64.in-addr.arpa.  2H IN NS  littlebrother.r65.org.
32.34.219.64.in-addr.arpa.  2H IN NS  ns1.swbell.net.
32.34.219.64.in-addr.arpa.  2H IN NS  ns2.swbell.net.

	James, call your zone 32.34.219.64.in-addr.arpa in named.conf
	and populate it with the following.

$TTL 86400
@	SOA	r65.org. sloth.r65.org. (
		2000100414 ; serial
		10800 ; refresh
		3600 ; retry
		604800 ; expire
		86400 ; default_ttl
		)
	NS	r65.org.
	NS	littlebrother.r65.org.
	NS	ns1.swbell.net.
	NS	ns2.swbell.net.
33	PTR	public2.r65.org.
34	PTR	public.r65.org.
35	PTR	r65gate1.r65.org.

	This works because your ISP has added CNAMES in 34.219.64.in-addr.arpa
	which point into 32.34.219.64.in-addr.arpa.
