Hi Scott:

I believe there is still a small bug in the handling of classless
delegations.

Notice this lookup:
> set type=ptr
> 162.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa.
Server:  ns1.dsl.net
Non-authoritative answer:
162.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa       canonical name =
162.160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa
162.160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa        name =
maywood-is-0003.webhost.hm-software.com
160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns1.webhost.hm-software.com
160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns2.webhost.hm-software.com
ns1.webhost.hm-software.com     internet address = 63.107.174.24
ns2.webhost.hm-software.com     internet address = 65.86.89.162

It is VERY clear that this is a NON-authoritative answer and that there IS a
delegation to ns1.webhost.hm-software.com.

Now compare this with:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=65.86.89.162
Searching for 162.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa PTR at c.root-servers.net:  Got
referral to BUCHU.ARIN.NET. (zone: 65.in-addr.arpa.)
Searching for 162.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa PTR at BUCHU.ARIN.NET.:  Got
referral to NS1.DSL.NET. (zone: 86.65.in-addr.arpa.)
Searching for 162.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa PTR at NS1.DSL.NET.:  Got CNAME
referral to NS1.DSL.NET. (zone 162.160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa.)
Searching for 162.160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa. PTR at NS1.DSL.NET.:
Reports maywood-is-0003.webhost.hm-software.com.

As you can see -
"Searching for 162.160-27.89.86.65.in-addr.arpa. PTR at NS1.DSL.NET"
it does NOT follow the delegation to the proper authoritative name server to
ns1.webhost.hm-software.com, instead it is using the NON-authoritative
information provided by ns1.dls.net.
