exactly - as long as the PTR record exists and returns a FQHN with a resolvable and identical A record, rfc1912 seems satisfied. back to the thread, I wouldn't feel comfortable with using PTR nonexistence (or otherwise) to prove that an address is no longer used. After all, that address *is* about to be used (hence the problem). In other words, you'd have to violate rfc1912 on an authoritative nameserver (of all devices to violate it on) just to prove re-use. -[ Joshua Goodall ]----------------------------------------------- -[ IP Systems Architect ]---------------- Cook, Geek, Lover ------ -[ [email protected] ]--------------- [email protected] -- On Fri, 18 Aug 2000, Derek J.
