Hi, I've been reading a little about DNS, inlcuding about the responsibility a DNS server it has for reverse DNS. For example, if I own the Class C 111.72.34.* (which I don't), I'm responsible for the 111.72.34.IN-ADDR.ARPA zone. Here's my problem: I have 5 static IP addresses, that my ISP leases me along with my ADSL line. So, who's in charge of reverse DNS for those 5 addreses? Unless I'm mistaken, the granularity of reverse DNS isn't such that I can handle just my 5, and the ISP does the rest. Instead, I assume that my ISP is responsible for reverse DNS on those 5, so it's up to me to tell them what maps to what. This would also imply that I don't do any reverse DNS at all (I'm not sure what this would mean for local reverse DNS stuff, except that maybe it just gets forwarded like any other unknown DNS request). Is this correct? - Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
