Since the IP of NT server is 192.168.20.1 which from a different IP block
than my linux server 192.168.1.1, I will have to create a different zone
file for reverse mapping for this and well as a zone file for domain
DEMPOS. Is it ?

route add -host 192.168.20.1 ( new to these things, please rectify me if I
am wrong )
