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.
