If there is $REVERSE (or some similar directive) can put inside ZONE file and named.conf file, then it would be a good help for those people who need to manually manage PTR records. From regular people point of view, it could be easier to read, maintain and less possible of human errors. Not sure how large will be the effort to add a new directive into BIND, but that just a feed back, and wish, from me and my team members, who needs to maintain few hundreds of statically assigned IPs for servers and CE/PE routers. -- Michel~ _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
