Unless there's some magic I haven't been introduced to, or a newer BIND that understands /<blah> notation, you're limited to whole class-C addresses when it comes to specifying reverse lookups. As I understand it, you'll have to coordinate with the other slices to maintain a reverse-mapping on whichever server is nominated as the primary for the mapping. > Nate -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
