Hi Chris, I run a number of internal clients on 10 address space. what i did was break up each Zone into Class B's 10.1.x.x , 10.2.x.x then my forward and reverse files into class C's. Each record 10.1.1.x . 10.1.2.x, 10.1.3.x, . then scale ass needed. providing the means to add forward and reverse to any address within that address space. here is a sample, note the sub folders for sanity sake. ############## my LAB #### ############## 10.153 ##### zone "1.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab1.db"; type master; }; zone "2.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab2.db"; }; zone "3.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab3.db"; }; zone "4.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab4.db"; }; zone "5.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab5.db"; }; zone "6.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab6.db"; }; zone "7.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab7.db"; }; zone "8.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab8.db"; }; zone "9.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab9.db"; }; zone "10.153.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/in-arpa-10/153/in-arpa.my-lab10.db"; }; _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
