Reverse DNS on a local network

[Juerg Reese]

Hi,

look at this and thanks to QIP :-),

Add to your named.conf:

zone "213.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
	type master;
	file "db.192.168.213";
	check-names ignore;
	allow-update { any; };
	allow-query { any; };
	allow-transfer { any; }; 
	notify no;
};


Create the file db.192.168.213 :

;=========================================================================
; Reverse Addresses (PTR Records) for zone: 213.168.192.in-addr.arpa
;=========================================================================
@	IN	SOA	your-dns-server.bootc.net. admin.bootc.net. (
			1	  ; Serial No.
			21600	  ; Refresh
			3600	  ; Retry
			604800  ; Expire
			86400 ) ; Minimum
;
			IN	NS	your-dns-server.bootc.net. 
;
;**************
; PTR records
;**************
1 	 IN		PTR	           gargantua.bootc.net.  
2      IN		PTR	           tequila.bootc.net.       
3      IN		PTR              dustball.bootc.net.
