Ah well now *that* is a maha possibility that I did overlook. Them

Now that is difficult to digest. Coaxing named to accept a misconfigured
zone record is next to nuts. But then, we have rocket science happening
at vsnl. Uh therefore *ahem* we will postpone further discussion till we
get our flippers on oen of them scientists. :D
BTW for the record, if named is running, without zone records for
reverse lookups, and your gateway dies, local network access slows down
to a crawl (this is rh5.2, rh6.0).
