I am using tinydns on my FreeBSD server. Normal DNS lookups work fine, but I can't get reverse DNS to work. My colocation provider says they have delegated DNS to my name servers. If there is a way to independently verify this, I don't know how to do it, so I am taking their word for it. My data file looks like this: # DNS .identry.com:66.111.0.195:ns0.identry.com .identry.com:66.111.0.252:ns1.identry.com .0.111.66.in-adr.arpa::ns0.identry.com:259200 .0.111.66.in-adr.arpa::ns1.identry.com:259200 # # Server Addresses # =on.identry.com:66.111.0.194:3600 =www.identry.com:66.111.0.206:3600 +identry.com:66.111.0.206 @identry.com::mx1.identry.com.:10:3600 =mx1.identry.com:66.111.0.196 When I run tinydns-get on the mx record, I get this: [root@on /usr/local/etc/tinydns/root]# tinydns-get a mx1.identry.com 1 mx1.identry.com: 149 bytes, 1+1+2+4 records, response, authoritative, noerror query: 1 mx1.identry.com answer: mx1.identry.com 86400 A 66.111.0.196 authority: identry.com 259200 NS ns0.identry.com authority: identry.com 259200 NS ns1.identry.com additional: ns0.identry.com 259200 A 66.111.0.195 additional: ns1.identry.com 259200 A 66.111.0.252 However, when I try to do a reverse look up, I get nada: [root@on /usr/local/etc/tinydns/root]# tinydns-get ptr 196.0.111.66.in-addr.arpa 12 196.0.111.66.in-addr.arpa: This set up worked at my previous colocation provider, so I suspect there is something different about they way they are delegating, but I'm far from a DNS expert. Any advice, much appreciated. Thanks: John
