We got a couple of complaints as well regarding domains that were hosted on resold UUNet lines. From what we have been able to figure out, UUNet made some changes and some entries were lost that would have pointed the reverse DNS for specific IP blocks to the DNS servers of the co. buying the services from them. UUNet's servers it appears forgot what to do with reverse dns requests for IP blocks belonging to a number of web-hosting/email providers.

The specific case I found showed an ipwhois violation, but I could not find anything wrong, except it looked like this in the delegation chain @ ARIN: Mom-and-pop subnet UUnet supernet I do not think that Mom-and-pop are giving IP space to UUnet. I believe that ARIN is messing w/ their DB (or whois format) and this is causing grief for something which is feeding into rfc-ignorant.org. We got an explosion of complaints on Monday that led to the removal. I only checked on one or two, but it was clear that something was not right. Mike
