Hi there,

A host which auto-registers in MS DNS, creates an A in foo.alaska.gov and PTR in whatever.10.in-addr.arpa. MS DNS is happy to publish those.

But the DNS system running on BIND also has a whatever.10.in-addr.arpa zone.

So if I want to find the PTR for 13.12.11.10.in-addr.arpa, I must query both DNS systems in turn. If I get NXDOMAIN from both, then I can say the PTR doesn't exist.

On each system, I'd like to be able to take the 10.in-addr.arpa data from the other, compute the differences, and incorporate them locally. Then I'll be able to query either system, and accept an NXDOMAIN with confidence.

Is there a reason not to split the /8 into two /9s or something like that?
Then you'd have no fragmentation (at least not for this reason) and you'd
always know who to ask.

And since writing my earlier note, I have re-located the code I think I stumbled across earlier

Tony Finch's "nsdiff"

Does that mean problem replaced, if not solved?
