One tiny detail, you can't delegate a subnet of a class C. The smallest thing that
is delegable ends in .0
You COULD (big hack) try and setup individual reverse zone files for EACH address,
i.e. 9.57.102.216.in-addr.arpa, 10.57.102.216.in-addr.arpa, etc and put each name in
there.
For example:
rev.216.102.57.9
----------------------------------------
@ IN SOA dante.plover.org. bford.dante.plover.org. (
1999113010 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
7200 ) ; Default TTL of 2 hours
NS dante.plover.org.
9.57.102.216.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR gateway.plover.org.
rev.216.102.57.10
----------------------------------------
@ IN SOA dante.plover.org. bford.dante.plover.org. (
1999113010 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
7200 ) ; Default TTL of 2 hours
NS dante.plover.org.
10.57.102.216.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR heather.plover.org.
and in your named.conf, you'd put...
zone "9.57.105.216.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "namedb/rev.216.105.57.9";
};
zone "10.57.105.216.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "namedb/rev.216.105.57.10";
};
etc...
