The problem is when I use server from the world: > example ns1.versatel.net (situation is same with other server from the > worl), this server can't find the reverse record for my machines. ok, the first question: how many ip-addresses do you own? Like with the "normal" dns-resolution, there are authoritative servers for reverse lookup, too. These authoritative servers start with the first part of your ip, say 62 (for 62.58.54.10). Then, there is a server for 58.62 and one for 54.58.62. Maybe the IP class is further divided, but mostly the authoritative server for 54.58.62 should have a record for 10.54.58.62. It's very uncommon that you maintain such a reverse-lookup server youself, so ask you provider who gave you the ip to make the appropriate entry for you. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
