Delegating class C's

[Marc Storck]

Hello

Try 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.    IN    NS    ns1.eng.fireclick.com

so you have the whole Class C delegated to ns1.eng.fireclick.com

x.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.       IN CNAME
x.0-255.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
0-255.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.   IN NS           ns1.eng.fireclick.com.

is used when delegating less than a whole Class C!
