RE: in-addr.arpa subdomain problem

Hi,

First of all your dig syntax isn't correct...

Your query should look like:

dig @ns1 PTR 129.12.12.12.in-addr.arpa

If this fails, then there might also be something wrong with your config,
but since your dig does a forward query you'll certainly get no reverse
answer...

Greetings from munich,

Jens

Subject: in-addr.arpa subdomain problem

I am setting up a new server running bind 9.2.1 to replace
a bind 8.1.2 server. In testing this I am able to do
reverse lookups on class C subnets but not subdomains
(e.g. /25). If I am reading dig output properly the server
is directing request to root servers rather than handling
it locally.

------------

zone "128-255.12.12.12.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "12.12.12.128.reverse.db";
allow-update { none; };
};

------------

;12.12.12.128.reverse.db
;
$TTL 3h
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. hostmaster.domain.com. (
2004080501 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
15d ; expire
1h ) ; neg cache ttl

@ IN NS ns1.domain.com.
@ IN NS ns2.domain.com.

129 IN PTR host1.domain.com.
130 IN PTR host2.domain.com.
