Long story, trust me it cannot be done due to having separate DNS masters for AD and Linux. If I do the 10.0.0.0 reverse zone it would make AD authoritative for the entire 10 class A so forwards to the Linux DNS would not happen and reverse lookups would fail.
That aside, I still need to know if there is a way to have the name display like it did in 2003. From: Andrew S.

I usually just setup reverse zones at the highest level possible and store them on all DNS servers in the Forest -- at least for the private IP ranges.

If you create the zones at the highest levels only (10.in-addr.arpa) then the other octets will show up in their own folders under this, and be more easily sortable.

We have many reverse lookup zones so the in-addr.arpa format is not very fun to sort and search through to find a particular zone, since it is in reverse order. It was nice in 2003 to sort based on the first octet instead of the last. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
