Hi all...

I'm having a small problem in that my box is 'not capable' of reverse DNS.
I'm running v3.3.  The university gave me the IP's of a couple of DNS
servers which we have access to.  If I log into those boxes and do an
nslookup, it works both ways - name-->ip and ip-->name.  Not so on my home
box.  I have both those DNS machines listed in /etc/rc.resolv, and even
threw in an additional DNS I know is nearby (according to the dox that
file maxes at 3 lines, correct?)

The question - is there something that needs to be configured some place
to enable reverse DNS?  Odds are I need to provide additional information
off my system - just let me know what it is :)

Thanks in advance!!!!
