How should I set up the zone file to answer for these if "20.10.in-addr.arpa" as a zone is a Bad Thing? Do I have any choices other than these two: --Use "20.10.in-addr.arpa" as a zone as we have before and just accept that it is a bad thing (use BIND 8.3.3 since 8.4.4 apparently refuses to work with this, probably because its a bad thing) --Split the zone file into a bunch of smaller zones: 192.20.10.in-addr.arpa, 193.20.10.in-addr.arpa, 194.20.10.in-addr.arpa, and so on (a lot of extra work involved) -David Price |
