Having Trouble with Reverse Map in Child Zone.

[Martin McCormick]

	I recently asked about adding glue records to define a
child dns that is part of our domain and the forward lookups work
but the reverse lookups don't.

	I added the following records to the master zone:

child_domain   IN   NS   testdns1.child_domain.okstate.edu.
child_domain   IN   NS   testdns2.child_domain.okstate.edu.
X.78.139.IN-ADDR.ARPA    IN    ns  testdns1.child_domain.okstate.edu.
X.78.139.IN-ADDR.ARPA    IN    ns  testdns2.child_domain.okstate.edu.

	In other words, I didn't forget reverse mapping for the
subnets that the child_domain uses, but forward lookups are
perfect and reverse lookups for addresses in that range fail.

	I have even looked on a slave DNS and found the records
for the reverse DNS present.

	I can also verify by using dig that the child name server
has the proper records so that leaves only one conclusion.  I got
it wrong, somehow.

	The book DNS and Bind gives an example of a glue record
in a parent zone, but I am not sure what happens with the reverse
zone.

	The addresses in the reverse zone are a subset of our
entire Class B number space if that has anything to do with it.
So close and yet so far.
