Absolutely correct. And Bret can also make his life even easier by using the shorthand form for entries. Once he fixes his named.conf zone line so it reads zone "8.57.102.216.in-addr.arpa" { the PTR records can be shortened to the more natural 9 3600 IN PTR gateway.plover.org. 10 3600 IN PTR heather.plover.org. 11 3600 IN PTR thorin.plover.org. 12 3600 IN PTR advent.plover.org. 13 3600 IN PTR dante.plover.org. 14 3600 IN PTR daman.plover.org. and things will work just fine and it won't hurt your eyes to look at the zone file :) Dan -- Dan Busarow 949 443 4172 Dana Point Communications, Inc. dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
