Thanks Rod. 2 questions:
1. How do I get them to "delegate in-addr.arpa lookups to my nameserver"? 2. I think it is obvious that my ISP set up their DNS server, and uses the USWest one as a backup, but didn't establish this with USWest. If I want to bring DNS in-house (which I will, eventually), how do I determine who the secondary DNS server should/could be, and what do I need to make sure that they do (like delegate in-addr.arpa lookups)? Any great books or websites to check out? Thanks a ton.
