Hey pluggers, appearently my Google skills aren't up to snuff today or something. I'm trying to figure something out with the reverse DNS mapping.
In a situation where a Class B subnet (let's use 192.168.0.0) has been broken into multiple chunks, each larger than a Class C (say, 4 CLASS C ranges combined, 1024 addresses, .0.0 - .3.255, 255.255.252.0 netmask, right?) How does the name service daemon (named) know that, for example address 192.168.2.11 resolves to the 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa net used in reverse resolution? Especially when the address is placed in the named zone file(s) by dhcpd (via ddns updates)? Is there some special header in the zone file or the config file that would indicate this? Thanks --- Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
