They need to set up _their_ reverse dns to handle this. Your reverse dns, aside from the extra octet in the newmt.rev entry, will look pretty much normal. If they haven't done so already (looked into this) point them at draft-ietf-cidrd-classless-inaddr-00.txt on (I think) rs.internic.net. It took a couple of readings before it soaked in, but once you get it it's _why didn't I think of that!? We have one customer running a delegated reverse subnet and several customers running "normal" subnets that we maintain out the the same class C. Dan -- Dan Busarow DPC Systems Dana Point, California
