I occasionally get error messages from gethostby* that look similar to (2.1R): gethostby*.gethostanswer: asked for "53.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa", got "53.0.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa" This appears to be caused by DNS servers having CNAMEs in their tables. ie when I do a dig -x on the above address, I get: ;; ANSWERS: 53.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa. 86221 CNAME 53.0.62.32.128.in-addr.arpa. ;; AUTHORITY RECORDS: 62.32.128.in-addr.arpa. 86221 NS ns1.Berkeley.EDU. 62.32.128.in-addr.arpa. 86221 NS ns2.Berkeley.EDU. My question is, does this have an impact on anything?
