Hi Bret, Sorry the ISP list Admin. has black-holed me and Fil.Net without even ONE warning for asking for a little pitty in the work I am doing teaching the Congressman that FreeBSD is a better operating system than WinNT. It is a tough job because M/S has a big Lobby trying to get the government to not license ISP's that don't have an official WinNT seal on their servers! This was about my first post and I asked for help with a sendmail problem from apache on our ISP's new server. Actually, a lot of people on the list gave me the information I needed to correct the problem. But the admin. felt that asking for a little pitty being pretty much alone in the Philippines against a large crowd of WinNT people was reason enough to send all my postings to his /dev/null! This Congressman is very impressed by the fact we are going against the "best thinking" (WinNT) and that our ISP is Providing a BETTER service using FreeBSD! He is the Chair of the House Committee on Telecomunication and is now drafting regulations effecting the Internet. I would think the FreeBSD ISP Admin. would WANT to Help get FreeBSD written into the Government's regulation, instead of cutting off someone - WITHOUT EVEN ONE WARNING - who runs the ONLY FreeBSD users group in the whole country. Anyway, to answer your questions... Your addresses are 216.150.57.8/29 aka: 216.150.57.8 255.255.255.248 This gives you the useable addresses of 216.150.57.9-14 You forgot the subnet value route address and subnet value. = Take a look at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc2317.txt I also changed your serial number to remove the "." in the format: YYYYMMDDNN where NN is the serial number for that days update (so don't make more than 100 changes on any one day! A bigger problem will be your ISP's delegation. I could not find any delegation for the 57.105.216.in-addr.arpa. zone at all. aLan $ORIGIN 8/26.57.105.216.in-addr.arpa.

I hope this helps! ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
