You delegate zones, not IP addresses.That is a common misconception. Recursing resolvers couldn't care less if they are written according to spec (unlike old BIND versions, for example). Okay, so you've made 192.122.109.193.in-addr.arpa a zone (delegated from bit.nl within 122.109.193.in-addr.arpa, which is delegated from RIPE's 193.in-addr.arpa), and this zone has an SOA and NS records defined. Other than the fact that this zone is within the in-addr.arpa tree, this would seem to be fairly normal behaviour for any other zone in any other tree.Have a look, for example, at the reverses for 193.109.122.192/28 and let me know if you can find anything wrong with those. However, it doesn't appear to have a PTR record. Contrariwise, 193.122.109.193.in-addr.arpa has an SOA, NS RRs, and a PTR. I'm sure your other zones look similar. Bizarre. Truly bizarre. Somehow, I feel compelled to make some remark about "perverting the course of the DNS", or somesuch. It's a wonder you have any Internet connectivity at all. -- Brad Knowles, <[email protected]> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
