Should you create another > reverse zone for each? Yes, you will need to put each class C network in a separate zone file. The above example would need 4 more reverse zone files (in addition to the 10.x one in the example). The one thing that may not have been explained well enough up to this point, is you can only advertise the reverse zone if whoever gave you the IP addresses did in fact give you administrative control of the whole Class C (or larger) network that they are on. Eg. if your ISP/service-provider assinged you the whole Class C, they will also need to take care delegating the in-addr.arpa dns address space to you. That is who the rest of the world knows to ask your nameservers for the dns data. If your service provider only gave you control of one IP address on each network, then they are going to want to keep contol of the zone file. In that case they will be the ones to add your hostname to their reverse-dns zone file or have some other method of dealing with the issue. There are some hacks to delagate on smaller than a Class C boundary. You will have to ask them how they handle the delagation. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
