Ah, of course.  I see.  But the rogue unit's name servers are claiming
authority for the entire 1x6.156.in-addr.arpa domain.  So (as you
allude to next) I would also have to configure my server as master for
this zone and then create NS records (two per) for all 254 subdomains.
I suppose also that I could make this easy with a $generate statment.

Still nasty.  And likely to confuse my succesor(s).

I am glad that you brought up the policy aspect of this.  There is no
good reason for this admin to deny his DNS parent zone transfer
rights.  I was hoping that by addressing this problem to this
newsgroup that any "good reason" would come to light.  Neither you nor
Mark Andrews seem think there is one, which I appreciate.

But it's still nice to learn a new kludge.
