(IPv4 hat on) I've taught my staff to plan using the reverse zone file. One can easily see which addresses have been used and which are free (sort the zone numerically!). Far more useful than putting names and addresses into a spreadsheet... which I suspect.. never mind... Having a correctly configured (ie complete) reverse is very useful. Mail and other services use the information. If you just have an IP address, a 'dig -x IP' will give a human understandable name. Can't think of any sane reason not to properly configure the reverse zone.. -- . . ___. .__ Posix Systems - (South) Africa /| /| / /__ m...@posix.co.za - Mark J Elkins, Cisco CCIE / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS Tel: +27 12 807 0590 Cell: +27 82 601 0496
