Hi Everyone, We have CIDR/29 reverse DNS delegated to us using the CNAME hack:
> 109.216.80.206.in-addr.arpa is an alias for > 109.104-111.216.80.206.in-addr.arpa. > 109.104-111.216.80.206.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer athena.norchemlab.com. Every day we get a few queries to our published nameservers not for the 109.104-111.216... record, but for the 109.216...directly.
